Red Bull's Ticktum likely to miss out on superlicense

Davide de Gobbi, boss of series organiser Top speed is “seeking clarification” regarding Dan Ticktum’s superlicence points after it was revealed the series he is racing in, will not contribute to the superlicence.

Ticktum currently has 35 points of his licence and has been competing F3 Asian Winter Series with Dragon Hitech GP.

The series was originally on the list of the FIA’s approved races however it now appears Ticktum will have to find an alternate source of points.

Reports are suggesting that points from last weeks race in Sepang will not contribute to the superlicence as it does not meet the criteria given by the FIA.

“We are currently seeking clarification from the FIA regarding some issues, but obviously we are disappointed by recent developments,” de Gobbi told Motorsport.com.

“We were aware of the criteria.

“However, when the AWS was listed by the FIA on their allocation table,  and given that the Single Seater Group was presented with all details of the AWS, including the schedule, on September 18, we understood that to mean that we had in fact been allocated superlicence points.”
