The FIA has been asked to evaluate if Ameya Vaidyanathan is up to the required "standard" to drive in Formula 3 following a start-line crash at the Norisring.
Vaidyanathan ran into the back of Dan Ticktum's stalled car at the start, seemingly oblivious to the fact the Red Bull junior driver hadn't moved despite starting several rows further back and with a clear line of sight to the stalled car.
Both drivers escaped injury despite the severe damage caused to both cars, though the impact called for both to undergo medical checks as a precaution.
Vaidyanathan was excluded from the race and barred from taking part in the final race of the weekend.
After the race, the stewards called on the governing body to assess the Carlin drivers ability and whether or not he is capable of driving in the series.
"The stewards request that the FIA review this incident and the driver standard of Ameya Vaidyanathan," read a statement.
"The stewards request that the FIA consider whether the driver of car 24 [Vaidyanathan] meets the standard of ability and awareness required to compete in this championship.
"The driver of car 24 advised the stewards that he followed his normal start procedure. The driver of car 24 was looking to his left where another car was trying to overtake him.
"The driver of car 24 advised that he did indeed see the yellow flags being waved by the marshals. The driver of car 24 did not alter his driving speed to respond to the yellow flags."
Ticktum meanwhile went on to win the final race of the weekend.
