Oliver Bearman was frustrated with himself for receiving a 10-place grid penalty and spoiling his British Grand Prix qualifying, despite Haas having a competitive Formula 1 car at Silverstone. As one of four British drivers, Bearman made it to Q3 and qualified eighth, but dropped to 18th due to a red-flag violation post Gabriel Bortoleto’s crash during Saturday’s practice. Losing control, he hit the pitlane wall, damaging his car and causing chaos for other drivers. This was Bearman’s second grid penalty in 2025, also earning him four penalty points, yet he showcased his disappointment alongside a strong qualifying effort. He acknowledged the mistake, admitting to misjudging the cold conditions, but expressed gratitude for the team’s performance and emphasized the need to learn and focus on a strong race.
