Trident has confirmed the FIA rejected a request made 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 baꦍn and a €6💛0,000 fine after 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 activity has anything even close to this ever occurred," as well as referring to "uncivilised behaviour" from both Ferrucci and his father.

in which the FIA rejected a request from Trident to place the 'Make Amer꧙ica Great Again' slo🔴gan made famous by President Trump during his election campaign in 2016, citing that "competitors are not allowed to affix to their automobiles advertising that is political in nature."

Trident t♓eam principal Maurizio Sal𓆏vadori confirmed to mahbx.com that the request had been made following pressure by the Ferrucci family 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 advertising that is political in nature," Salvadori t♎old mahbx.com.

"When I was approa🐈ched with this req𒈔uest on behalf of the Ferrucci family, I tried to explain the impossibility to adhere to this demand.

Formula 2 declined to comment on the matter when approached by mahbx.com. Ferrucci's ban means he is unable to race in F2 until the round at Monza in I𝓀taly at the beginning of September.
