Ollie Bearman’s running on the final day of pre-season testing was disrupted by a strange incident.
Ollie Bearman’s running at the F1 pre-season testing was disrupted when he experienced a broken engine cover in the first hour of running. As he was starting his eighth lap, the left-hand side engine cover broke, scattering debris along the pit-straight, forcing him to return to the pits at a slow pace. The Haas team then blocked cameras from viewing the exposed internals of the car by forming a human wall in the pit-lane. This incident marked the second engine cover failure for Haas in the pre-season, with Esteban Ocon also experiencing a similar issue during a shakedown at Silverstone.
