Ollie Bearman is now two penalty points away from earning a Formula 1 race ban after the Italian GP stewards deemed him to have caused a collision with Carlos Sainz
Ollie Bearman is now just two penalty points away from facing a Formula 1 race ban, as ruled by the Italian Grand Prix stewards due to a collision with Carlos Sainz. The incident occurred at the dela Roggia chicane, where Bearman’s Haas and Sainz’s Williams made contact. Bearman received a 10-second time penalty as the stewards deemed him at fault for defending his position instead of yielding to Sainz. This penalty didn’t affect Bearman’s 12th-place finish, but brought his total penalty points to 10, just one point shy of a potential ban like Max Verstappen narrowly escaped earlier this year. Bearman accrued penalty points in various incidents, including crashes under red flags and a previous collision, putting his F1 future in jeopardy should he accumulate two more points before the expiration of his current points in November 2026.
