Why was his team mate crying on the radio? I sense a deeper set of problems there.

That was from thw French round IIRC. Trident have been moaning a lot about the F2 engines provided to the teams are not the same spec. It costs them to have the engine checked over, bug as its by the manufacturer they (allegedly) say theres nothing wrong with the engine and simply give it back.

Thats what Maini (and Ferrucci himself) have been moaning about.

I used extremely poor judgement at the conclusion of the race getting far too close to my team mate Arjun Maini and swerved away only to graze his tire, very fortunately causing no damage or issue to his car.

:rolleyes:

Because all of the other stuff he did. vettel only drove into hamilton, he did not do all of this:
Following today's FIA Formula 2 Championship Sprint Race, it was found that Trident's Santino Ferrucci was in breach of multiple regulations throughout the race.

Firstly, following his contact with Arjun Maini on the cooldown lap of the race, it was determined that Ferrucci deliberately drove into the rear of his teammate - breaching the Sporting Regulations. After the stewards had heard testimony from the team that this was a premeditated incident, Ferrucci was summoned to the hearing but declined to attend. As a consequence, the American driver has been suspended from the next two FIA Formula 2 Championship rounds - meaning he will not be permitted to participate in both Budapest and Spa-Francorchamps - and has also been given a fine of €60,000.

In another incident with his teammate, Ferrucci was found to have deliberately forced Maini off of the road at Turn 4 after the Indian driver proceeded to make a pass for position. Once again, Ferrucci declined to attend the hearing, and has been disqualified from the results of the Sprint Race.

Having also been observed transitioning from the support paddock to the race pitlane wearing just one glove and holding a phone in his hand by a Technical Delegate, Ferrucci also violated both the Technical and Sporting Regulations for incorrect driver safety equipment and the prohibition of wireless transmission devices within the car. For these transgressions, he has earned a further €6000 in fines.

Lastly, it was determined that Luca Ghiotto had failed to maintain the minimum delta time at the end of the virtual safety car period, and has been granted a five-second time penalty in the Sprint Race. Ghiotto henceforth moves down to tenth position, promoting MP Motorsport's Ralph Boschung into the points.
