ART Grand Prix's Nobuharu Matsushita has been handed a race ban for the next round on the GP2 Series calendar.
The Japanese driver was handed the penalty by Baku race stewards after he was found guilty of "driving in an erratic manner, causing danger to other drivers," during Sunday's sprint race.
At the end of the first safety car period, Matsushita overtook the safety car before the white line which indicates when cars can overtake and then drove in an erratic manner.
At the end of the second period, Matsushita was also found guilty of driving in an erratic manner, accelerating and braking, again causing danger to other competitors and "causing several collisions to cars following him".
He will therefore sit out the next round at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.
