Martin Brundle says F1 star would have been DISQUALIFIED for British GP incident
Sky Sports F1’s Martin Brundle suggested that a British driver could have faced disqualification from the entire British Grand Prix weekend for an incident during practice at Silverstone. Oliver Bearman crashed into the pits during the third practice session, which led to a penalty for driving dangerously under red flag conditions. The FIA race stewards imposed a 10-place grid penalty and four penalty points on Bearman, affecting his starting position for the main event. Brundle mentioned that in the past, such actions could have led to disqualification from the event. Bearman’s penalty was severe due to the potential risks of erratic driving under red flag conditions, in line with recent FIA penalty guidelines. The incident left Bearman starting from the back of the grid and nearing a one-race ban if he accumulates more penalty points in the future.
