Liam Lawson narrowly finished outside of the points in the Spanish Grand Prix, after fierce battles with Ollie Bearman.
Liam Lawson has taken responsibility for the contact with Ollie Bearman in the Spanish Grand Prix during their fierce battle, admitting fault for the incident.
The intense battle between Bearman and Lawson was the highlight of an otherwise uneventful Barcelona race, with Bearman barely managing to maintain his lead over the Racing Bulls driver.
Despite the contact in Turn 1 where Lawson clipped Bearman, resulting in the Haas driver running off track, no further action was taken against Lawson as Bearman was still ahead at the crucial moment.
However, a few laps later, Bearman cut the corner to defend his position against Lawson, resulting in a 10-second penalty for the Briton for his aggressive move.
Reflecting on the race, Lawson acknowledged his role in the contact and expressed frustration at the lost opportunity due to the penalty.
Bearman, who finished just behind Lawson on track but was relegated to 17th place after the penalty, felt aggrieved by the decision and planned to review the incident further to understand the ruling.
