Drivers are unhappy with how SFormula handled the yellow flag controversy in qualifying at Sugo, believing Ritomo Miyata should have lost his best lap in Q1. Miyata went on to win the race and take the lead of the championship:
The controversy arose when Cem Bolukbasi crashed his TGM Grand Prix machine exiting Rainbow corner with just a few seconds left on the clock in the first segment of Q1.
After much deliberation by the stewards, it was determined that both Hirakawa and Miyata could keep their laps, allowing them to progress to Q2, while the next driver in line, Kondo Racing’s Kazuto Kotaka, lost his best time, costing him a place in the pole shootout. While Hirakawa passed Bolukbasi’s stricken car before any flags were waved, Miyata was allowed to keep his best time of 1m05.926s despite the section from Rainbow to halfway down the following straight, beyond the scene of the crash, being under yellow.Had Miyata lost that lap, he too would have started from the back of the grid, but instead he went on to qualify second to Toshiki Oyu.
It’s understood the reasoning given for not penalising Miyata was that he was already at the point of turning in at Rainbow when the yellows were first waved, and therefore couldn’t have been expected to see the flags.
