P1racenews AI automatic summary:
First practice ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix has been hit with a second red flag in the opening 22 minutes.
The second red flag was shown during the first practice session before the Mexican Grand Prix due to a collision between Alex Albon and F1 rookie Oliver Bearman. Bearman was substituting for Charles Leclerc at Ferrari according to the rule that requires each team to field a rookie driver in two FP1 sessions during the season. The incident occurred between Turns 9 and 10 at high speed, where Albon made contact with Bearman. A snap of oversteer caused Albon to collide with Bearman, who had moved out of the racing line to let Albon pass. The crash resulted in a severe impact with the barrier for Albon, leading to substantial damage to his FW46. This collision prompted the second red flag of the session, with about 38 minutes left, following an earlier red flag due to debris on the track.
