The FIA explained its decision regarding Ollie Bearman’s controversial exit from Q1 in Formula 1 qualifying at Imola, which Bearman criticized as “totally unfair.” Bearman was displeased with the FIA ruling that his lap time was completed just after the red flag for Franco Colapinto’s crash, leading to his elimination in 19th place. Despite Bearman’s argument that he had not seen the red flag when crossing the line, the FIA held its decision. Race control conducted a review during the delay before Q2 to ensure the accuracy of the call, leaving Bearman waiting in his car. Bearman expressed disappointment with the lack of explanation and sought further clarity from Haas and the FIA on the situation.
