The English closed the third essay with an unusual accident in the entrance way to Boxes and the FIA ​​commissioners fell strongly.

Only Oliver Bearman knows for sure what he wanted to do at the close of the third training of the GP of Great Britain, 12th F1 date. The session stopped with a red flag for the accident that Gabriel Bortoleto had suffered and would no longer resume, there was a minute on the clock. With the red shown, the regulation clearly marks that all pilots should drastically reduce the speed and slowly go to boxes. But Haas’s English, accelerated in the entrance way to the Pits and ended against containment barriers!

Sports commissioners immediately cited Bearman, accompanied by a member of the American team, to listen to their reasons. But there weren’t. The VF-25 telemetry data marked that when the batch stopped with a red flag, the English leaned the march, but upon reaching curve 15 it accelerated significantly and entered the entrance zone to boxes at 260 km/h. At that time, he lost control and crashed into the barriers.

The part published by the FIA ​​clearly indicated: “It is unquestionable that car pilot 87 did not slowly enter boxes when he accelerated to simulate the entry to boxes into racing conditions. In fact, we analyzed a previous return in normal race conditions and discovered that it was faster on this return, with a red flag. To top it off, he lost control of the car. The pilot informed us that he calculated badly and that his brakes were not hot. While this can be a factor that contributed to the accident, we do not consider it an attenuating factor. ”

As a result, The commissioners harshly sanctioned Bearman, who must go back ten places in this Sunday’s grid and, in addition, they were four points of the Superliccence (It accumulates eight of the 12 who have the pilots per calendar year before being suspended by a date).
