Oliver Bearman must navigate the next four grand prix weekends just two points away from an F1 race ban.
Oliver Bearman mentioned that he feels he has no option but to avoid wheel-to-wheel battles like the one with Carlos Sainz, as it risks him receiving a potential F1 race ban, due to accumulating penalty points.
At the Italian GP, Bearman incurred two penalty points, reaching a total of 10 within a 12-month period, with the next two points set to be removed after the Mexico City Grand Prix in November.
Bearman highlighted the rarity of drivers being banned under the superlicence system; only Kevin Magnussen faced this consequence, incidentally leading to Bearman replacing him at the 2024 Azerbaijan GP after the Monza incident.
Following the contact caused by Sainz at Monza’s second chicane, resulting in a penalty for Bearman, he emphasized feeling unfairly treated and emphasized the need to avoid risky situations that could trigger a ban.
Despite feeling burdened by the high number of penalty points, Bearman acknowledged his mistakes, expressed the need to learn from them, and adjusted his approach to adhere to the regulations to prevent further penalties.
