Oliver Bearman continues to sail close to the wind of a race ban in Formula 1.
Oliver Bearman received a penalty in F1 for his on-track defense against Kimi Antonelli, but he avoided getting penalty points or facing a race ban. The incident occurred during a chaotic United States Sprint at the Circuit of the Americas, where Bearman went off track while trying to prevent Antonelli from overtaking. The penalty dropped Bearman to 15th place after the race. The stewards determined that Antonelli was attempting a legitimate overtake and Bearman gained an advantage by leaving the track. Luckily, Bearman’s penalty did not incur penalty points according to the Driving Standards Guidelines. Previously, Bearman had come close to a race ban after a collision with Carlos Sainz at the Italian GP resulted in penalty points on his superlicence. The next opportunity for points to be removed from Bearman’s total will be after the Mexico City GP on November 1.
