Oliver Bearman has been hammered by the British Grand Prix stewards
after a second red-flag infringement in five races. In the second
practice session for the Monaco Grand Prix, Bearman was handed a
10-place penalty for overtaking the Williams of Carlos Sainz under
red-flag conditions. In the final practice run at Silverstone, the
red flags were shown a second time when Gabriel Bortoleto crashed
his Stake out of the Maggotts/Becketts complex, breaking the
suspension. En route back to the pits, and heading down the pit
lane, Bearman lost control of his Haas, sliding into a barrier and
dislodging the front wing. The Briton and his team laid the blame
on the fact that the car's brakes were too cold. After being found
guilty of failing to comply with a red flag, Bearman has been
handed another 10-place penalty, and four points on his licence,
taking his tally to eight in the last 12 months. This article will
be updated.
