Oliver Bearman will enter the 2026 F1 season in significant danger of being issued a race ban.
Oliver Bearman is now close to getting an F1 race ban with just two penalty points left after receiving a penalty in Abu Dhabi. During the season finale at Yas Marina Circuit, Bearman was penalized for multiple defensive moves against Lance Stroll. Despite being flagged for his actions, Bearman was handed a five-second time penalty leading to a point on his super license. This brings his total penalty points in the last year to 10, with the earliest ones expiring halfway through the Canadian Grand Prix weekend in May. Bearman expressed frustration with the penalty ruling and questioned the decision in a statement to media outlets, including RacingNews365.
