The Automobile Club d'Italia (Italian Automobile Club/ACI) announced on Tuesday that it has decided to revoke the racing license of Artem Severiukhin, a Russian go-karter, following an incident on the podium over the weekend.
Additionally, he was referred to the Sports Justice, and further sanctions have not been ruled out.
The go-karter appeared to make a Nazi salute while on the podium after winning a European Championship race in Portugal on Sunday, and then laughed. The FIA, motorsport’s governing body, announced on Monday that it was investigating the incident, which occurred while the national anthem of Italy was playing.
