While the post-race comments and controversy surrounding Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen get the attention at the British Grand Prix, the actions of Santino Ferrucci in Formula 2 are on another level.The young American, associated to the Haas F1 team, has been given a four-race or two-event ban from the junior series after a list of incidents at Silverstone that simply have to be seen to be believed.Driving for the Trident team, he was involved in an incident with his teammate Arjun Maini, with the stewards deeming Ferrucci had intentionally pushed the Indian off the track exiting the Loop in the second race on Sunday morning.While that may not seem like much, after the race he would drive up to the rear of his car and deliberately make contact with his left-rear wheel, damaging his own car in the process.Called to the stewards over both matters, Ferrucci then declined to attend the meeting, which saw him disqualified from the race results and given a 60,000 Euros fine in addition to the four-race ban.

His final breach of the regulations is one of the most bizarre, taking place before the race as he was seen driving to the pit-lane from the paddock, with the F2 cars sharing the same garages as GP3, while on his mobile phone.

That would earn Ferrucci an additional 6000 Euros in fines and wraps up a quite unthinkable day of behaviour, particularly for a driver linked to an F1 team in Haas and looking to one day move up to the pinnacle of motorsport.

His attitude was clearly no better later when Sky Sports first tweeted the above incident with Maini, quoting the Indian driver on the team radio as saying: "There's something wrong with my teammate's brain, he needs [to be] banned."

Ferrucci would reply: "Says the one that cries on the radio. I just did my drug test so I'm all clear.

"Maybe if they showed what you did to me in the race more people would understand."

Unsurprisingly taken aback by, Trident issued a statement via Twitter condemning the "unsportsmanlike and above all uncivilized behaviour".

"The contractual implications of what has happened will be dealt with by our lawyers. Never in these 12 years of sporting activity has anything even close to this ever occurred," added the message.

Finally, just to add a new twist to this already incredible act of a driver potentially destroying his career, it has emerged Ferrucci put in a request to run a 'Make America Great Again' livery at Silverstone, a reference to US President Donald Trump's campaign slogan.

The FIA declined as it is against the regulations to run cars with slogans or logos that are "political in nature". 

Unbelievable...
