This F1 is dangerous
It wasn’t at all edifying to see how much pain he was in Oliver Bearman once he got out of the cockpit of his Haas after the accident which forced the entry of the Safety Car just as the drivers had started to make the only pit stop.
Above all, the dynamics that led Bearman to lose control of his car cannot help but arouse anger: the English driver, in fact, suddenly found himself in front of Colapinto’s Alpine which slowed down noticeably approaching the Cucchiaio curve. Bearman couldn’t help but try to overtake, Colapinto defended himself and for the Englishman there was nothing else to do but end up on the grass and consequently into the barriers.
Blaming Colapinto for what happened is excessive, so much so Race Direction did not penalize the Alpine driver. Neither pilot expected to attack nor the other to defend himself. The current regulation can lead when one least expects it and these episodes in which two cars have clearly different speeds and when it happens in a fast corner as in this case this can be the result.
Luckily at least Bearman seems to have gotten away with only one bruisethe ‘hot’ images were not at all heartening.
