The Dutch Grand Prix has gone from bad to worse for one Formula 1 star after being hit with a demotion verdict by the FIA.
The Dutch Grand Prix took a turn for the worse for a Formula 1 star as they were demoted by the FIA.
Ollie Bearman and Haas faced difficulties in Zandvoort after qualifying last in an ultra competitive session where the whole grid was covered by just over a second in Q1.
Due to Lance Stroll’s failure to set a lap, Bearman and team-mate Esteban Ocon found themselves at the back of the grid.
Bearman now starts from the pitlane after Haas made unauthorized changes exceeding component limits set by F1 sporting regulations.
This compounds Bearman’s struggle, with the Grand Prix marking the 10th race without scoring any points for him.
If Haas fail to score in Zandvoort, it will be the first time this season, keeping them just ahead of Alpine and behind the Racing Bulls in the championship standings.
