TOM’S driver Miyata scored his second victory of the season at the Miyagi Prefecture track last month in a major boost to his title aspirations, moving 12 points of Team Mugen’s Liam Lawson in the standings with four races remaining this season.
However, during a drivers’ briefing that took place at the subsequent in-season test at Fuji, the subject of whether Miyata should have been stripped of his best lap in Q1 was discussed, with most of the field understood to be unhappy about the situation.
