Oliver Bearman could be set for a heavy penalty ahead of his home race at Silverstone.
Oliver Bearman has been summoned to meet with the stewards before qualifying for the British Grand Prix due to an investigation into a peculiar pit lane crash.
The investigation focuses on a possible violation of the red flag rules when Bearman entered the pit lane during a red-flagged final practice session caused by a crash involving Gabriel Bortoleto.
A sequence of events, including Bortoleto’s high-speed crash, debris on the track, and Bearman’s pit lane incident, led to multiple red flags in the final minutes of FP3 at Silverstone.
Bearman’s pit lane crash was a result of his rear brakes locking up, causing him to hit the barrier and spin, damaging his front wing and nose, although he managed to return to the Haas garage.
If Bearman incurs a grid penalty, he will be joining Kimi Antonelli from Mercedes as another driver facing a punishment for the British Grand Prix.
