Oliver Bearman’s unusual elimination from Emilia Romagna Grand Prix qualifying has been explained by the FIA.
The FIA has clarified the unusual circumstances surrounding Oliver Bearman’s disqualification from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix qualifying session. Bearman’s completed lap in Q1 initially secured him a spot in Q2, but he was later pushed back to 19th place due to a red flag caused by Franco Colapinto’s crash at Tamburello. However, footage suggested Bearman crossed the timing line before the red flags appeared, potentially making his lap valid for Q2 and displacing Gabriel Bortoleto. Q2’s start was delayed as the FIA probed the situation, revealing Bearman missed the line by 3.3 seconds, allowing Bortoleto to progress instead. The detailed statement can be found below for further clarification.
