Tridꦉent has confirmed the FIA rejected a request maಌde by Santino Ferrucci and his family to race with President Donald Trump's slogan, 'Make America Great Again', on his car during last weekend's Formula 2 round at Silverstone.

Ferrucci was handed a two-round💮 ban😼 and a €60,000 fine aꦡfter deliberately hitting Trident teammate Arjun Maini on the cool-down lap at the end of Sunday's sprint race at Silverstone. Ferrucci also refused to attend the stewards' hearing regarding the incident, was deemed to have pushed Maini off-track during the race, and was also fined a further €6,000 for using his phone while driving the car.

Trident issued a statement following the incidents saying the matter was being dealt with by its lawyers, saying "in these 12 years of sporting acti💞vity has anything even close to this ever occu🌳rred," as well as referring to "uncivilised behaviour" from both Ferrucci and his father.

in which the ꦅFIA rejected a request from Trident to place the 'Make America Great Again' slogan made famous by President Trump during his election campaign in 2016, citing that "competitors are not൲ allowed to affix to their automobiles advertising that is political in nature."

Trident team principal Maurizio Salvadori conꦏfirmed to ltxcn.top that the request had been made following pressure by the Ferrucci familꦗy before hitting out at the leaking of the letter.

"Everyone in the motorsport field is aware that it is forbidden to affix to their automobile advert🅷ising that is political in nature," Salvadori told ltxcn.top.

"When I was approached with this request on behalf of the Ferrucci family, I tried to explain the impossibility to adh✅ere to this demand.

Formula 2 declined to comment on the matter when approached by ltxcn.top. Ferrucci's ban means he🅺 is unable to race in F2 until the round at Monza 🌳in Italy at the beginning of September.
