FIA announce MASSIVE punishment for F1 star at British Grand Prix
The FIA has imposed a significant penalty on F1 driver Ollie Bearman following a crash during FP3 at Silverstone.
During a session disrupted by a red flag triggered by Gabriel Bortoleto’s crash, Bearman collided with the barriers, damaging his Haas front wing.
Bearman’s overly eager return to the pits led to the incident, impacting his British Grand Prix prospects negatively.
Bearman has received a 10-place grid penalty and gained four penalty points on his super license, raising his total to eight.
This penalty aligns him with Kimi Antonelli, who also faced a grid drop for a previous collision involving Max Verstappen.
The stewards confirmed that Bearman failed to slow down appropriately under red flag conditions, resulting in the crash and subsequent penalty.
This incident reflects Bearman’s disappointing performance at his home race, facing consequences for his actions on the track.
