F1: Esteban Ocon destroyed his haas in Baréin

The Frenchman was in his first attempted at Q2 on the fourth date of the year, lost it above a piano and ended against a wall.

An old saying says: “He who burns with milk, sees a cow and cries.” In the Haas team, the saying would change the cow for the Baréin circuit. Forever the images of the Dantesque accident that Romain Grosjean lived in the 2020 season will remain in the memory, in the middle of the Covid-19 Pandemia, when its VF-20 got under a guard-rail, it broke into two and caught fire. The French pilot was 27 seconds inside his car, wrapped in flames and saved his life miraculously. His leaving for Cockpit, among the fire, led peace of mind in the midst of despair. A little over four years passed and the French Haas-Piloto combination again ended badly in Sakhir. This time, it was Esteban Ocon.

Just started the Q2, Ocon, the only Haas pilot who managed to pass the barrier of Q1 after the elimination of Oliver Bearman, the Galo had started his first round thrown, stepped on the piano in the third curve and his VF-25 And he ended up hitting very strongly against containment barriers.

“I’m fine, sorry,” was the first phrase of the former radio from the radio. The immediate red flag stopped the activity so that the auxiliaries could withdraw the remains of the HAAS. The blow was in the back and, beyond the enormous work that mechanics will have to put that car on the track this Sunday, we will have to see how the box and the engine were.
