With the publication of the final Race 3 classification following the completion of the technical and sporting checks, the opening round of the 2026 E4 Championship has officially come to a close.
Among the incidents reviewed by the Stewards was the overtaking move by Roman Kamyab (Prema Racing) on Arjen Kraling (US Racing). After reviewing the contact between the two drivers, the Stewards deemed Kamyab responsible and imposed a 10-second time penalty.
As a result, the Prema Racing driver drops from ninth to 27th, falling out of the points.
Ninth place is therefore inherited by Kenzo Craigie (R-ace GP), followed by Ludovico Busso (US Racing), Thomas Bearman (Van Amersfoort Racing), Dominik Simek (Trident Motorsport), Philippe-Armand Karras (R-ace GP) and Georgiy Zasov (Prema Racing), all of whom move up one position. The final points-paying place now goes to Brazilian driver Augustus Toniolo (Trident Motorsport), who is promoted to 15th.
Several grid penalties have also been issued and will be served at the drivers' next event, with the next round of the championship scheduled to take place at Circuit Paul Ricard in two weeks' time.
Arjen Kraling (US Racing) will receive a six-place grid penalty for contact with Alex Ruta (Van Amersfoort Racing). Alexander Chartier (PHM Racing) has been handed two separate grid penalties of six and eight places respectively for incidents involving Jean-Paul Karras (R-ace GP) and Tamas Gender (R-ace GP).
Finally, Andre Rodriguez (PHM Racing) will serve a six-place grid penalty following an incident with Vittorio Orsini (AKM Motorsport), while George Proudford-Nalder (AKM Motorsport) receives the same sanction for the collision with Bernardo Bernoldi (Trident Motorsport), an incident that forced both drivers to retire.
