Oliver Bearman is slapped with 10-place grid penalty at Silverstone after bizarre pit-entry crash
Oliver Bearman has received a 10-place grid penalty ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The Haas driver was penalised after he bizarrely crashed upon entering the pit during final practice on Saturday. Earlier in the session a red flag was raised as a result of Bearman losing a piece of bodywork from his car, with marshals having to retrieve the part from the track. Later, another red flag was shown when Gabriel Bortoleto's car spun off the circuit at high speed. Bearman headed towards the pit lane but ended up spinning and lost the front wing from his car. The incident was investigated by stewards, with Bearman subsequently being penalised. Bearman's crash at the pit entry — Holiness (@F1BigData) July 5, 2025 As reported by F1's official website, a document was released following the hearing. The document read: '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. 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'. '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.' Bearman has also received four penalty points, which means that he now has eight on his licence. 20-year-old Bearman is set to compete in his first race at Silverstone as an F1 driver.

Grid Penalty for Bearman at British Grand Prix After a Pit-Lane Crash Under a Red Flag
Oliver Bearman will head into his first home race in Formula 1 with a 10-place grid penalty after crashing on his way into the pit lane under a red flag. The 20-year-old Haas rookie lost control and spun into a barrier while coming into the pits after the third practice session had been stopped because of an earlier crash for Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto. The race stewards ruled that Bearman had failed to comply with red-flag rules when he accelerated significantly to race pace before coming into the pits. The stewards said the British driver had been trying to simulate coming into the pits in race conditions and had been going faster under the red flag than on his previous entry to the pits. Bearman said the crash happened because his brakes had gone cold under the red-flag conditions. 'While this may have been a factor contributing to the crash, we do not consider it to be a mitigating factor,' the stewards ruled. As well as the grid penalty, Bearman picks up four penalty points, giving him a total of eight. Reaching 12 penalty points means an automatic one-race suspension.

Canadian Grand Prix: Russell on pole with Verstappen alongside
Update: Date: 18:06 BST Title: Hadjar hit with three-place grid penalty Content: Carlos Sainz was furious with his Q1 exit on Saturday and instantly flagged to his Williams team he had been the victim of "massive impeding" during the scrap to make it through to Q2. The offending car was Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar, who was given misinformation by his pit wall that Spaniard Sainz had already aborted his lap when the two cars came across each other in the first sector. After qualifying, the stewards found Hadjar guilty of impeding so the Frenchman will now drop down the order from P9 to P12, promoting Alex Albon, Franco Colapinto and Nico Hulkenberg.
