Max Verstappen laughs at British F1 star's huge Silverstone crash
Max Verstappen could not believe his eyes as he watched Ollie Bearman's bizarre pit-lane crash during British Grand Prix practice. Formula 1 is at Silverstone this weekend where Lando Norris has the chance to overtake McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri in the championship battle in front of his home fans. But Ferrari are looking very quick, with Sir Lewis Hamilton fastest in first practice on Friday while Charles Leclerc topped third practice on Saturday ahead of qualifying. However, final practice finished in peculiar fashion after Gabriel Bortoleto spun off in the final few minutes and badly damaged his Sauber, bringing out the red flag. As drivers headed back to the pits, British star Bearman accelerated rapidly as he got to the pit-lane entrance before slamming on the brakes – perhaps trying to simulate race conditions. However, this caused his Haas to spin and slam into the barriers at high-speed. Thankfully, the 20-year-old was unhurt and was able to nurse his car, minus the front wing, back to the garage. Verstappen was directly behind the rookie with a clear view of the crash and was left completely baffled by the shunt. 'Oh my god! Someone just crashed in the pit entrance! Haha, what?!' the four-time champion said over the team radio as he drove past the debris. '**** idiot, my brakes were cold. ****, sorry,' Bearman said on the radio in the immediate aftermath. The stewards took a dim view of the rookie's shunt, slapping him with a 10-place grid penalty for Sunday's race, meaning Bearman will almost certainly start his first home grand prix from last place. 'Car 87 had slowed down for the red flag and as he was approaching Turn 15 accelerated significantly to race pace and entered the pit entry road at 260kph,' the steward's verdict read. 'He lost control of the car in the pit entry road and crashed into the barriers. Art. 37.6 (a) of the Formula One Sporting Regulations and Art. 2.5.4.1(b) of Appendix H of the International Sporting Code require that when a red flag is shown 'all cars must immediately reduce speed and proceed slowly back to the pit lane'. More Trending 'It is beyond doubt that the driver of 'Car 87 did not proceed slowly back to the pit lane when he accelerated to simulate entering into the pit entry road under race conditions. 'In fact, we looked at a previous in-lap under normal racing conditions and found that he was faster in this lap, under a red flag. To make matters worse, he lost control of the car and crashed into the barriers while at speed. 'The driver informed us that he misjudged the fact that his brakes were not warm because the lap was done slowly, due to the red flag. While this may have been a factor contributing to the crash, we did not consider it to be a mitigating factor.' Ahead of the British Grand Prix, Bearman is 18th in the standings with six points from the opening 11 races. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Kuwait takes action against 34 private health facilities for ad rule violations
KUWAIT CITY, April 3: Minister of Health Dr. Ahmad Al-Awadhi issued a decision on Wednesday to refer 34 private health facilities to the Medical Liability Authority for serious violations of medical advertisement regulations and controls. In a press statement, the Ministry explained that the referral decision is part of its ongoing oversight of the health sector and its commitment to upholding the principles of the medical profession while ensuring the quality and safety of healthcare services. This move aligns with the provisions of Law No. (70) of 2020, which governs the practice of medicine and support professions. The Ministry added that specialized inspection teams observed several advertisements during the holy month of Ramadan that promoted inaccurate information, violated professional standards, and contravened Ministerial Resolution No. (87) of 2023, which regulates medical advertisements in the private sector. Some of these advertisements even included indecent images, which the Ministry deemed a violation of public decency and unacceptable conduct, calling for accountability. Additionally, the Ministry noted that some clinics, medical centers, laboratories, and dental centers failed to meet their professional and ethical responsibilities, leading to legal actions being taken against them. The Ministry emphasized that any violation or breach of approved controls and regulations will be addressed immediately and without leniency, as part of its ongoing efforts to ensure a safe, healthy environment and enhance the efficiency and quality of medical services in the country, in accordance with the highest professional standards.
