Max Verstappen finished FP3 at Silverstone in stitches when he saw Ollie Bearman crash into the entrance to the stand at the end of the session. The Briton has gone aggressively into the paths of the stands and lost control of his haas after the red flag was aircraft with a minute at the session.
All cars returned to the lane paths after the accident of Gabriel Bortoleto released the red flag in the last stages of FP3 before the British Grand Prix. Oliver Bearman attacked the entry of the lane of the stands and lost control of his VF-25, which sent him his head first in the barriers on the right side.
Max Verstappen was just behind him on the right track and saw the bizarre accident unfold. The Dutchman literally laughed aloud after seeing the incident.
“Oh my God, someone has just crashed into the entrance to the pit. What?” Said Verstappen, laughing out loud.
It seemed that the incident occurred due to cold brakes on Bearman’s car.
Now Bearman can actually get in trouble with the delegates. The teenager was very aggressive when he entered the lane of the stands. But the red flags were out, which means that all the cars were supposed to slow down.
Red flag offenses are taken very seriously and grid penalties are distributed even for incidents in practice. Yuki Tsunoda recently received a drop of 10 -seat grid for a red flag violation in practice during the Canadian Grand Prix.
It is likely that Bearman will also receive a drop in a grid for the race. Haas can also correct this because they seemed to have turned a corner during FP3. Bearman finished the session in P5, while Esteban Ocon was 13th.
Max Verstappen back in the fight after FP3 in Silverstone
Max Verstappen had a scorching outing in FP1 and FP2 on Friday while the British weekend GP started. But Red Bull’s team seems to have returned it once again on Saturday.
The reigning world champion’s RB21 seemed much easier to manage during the FP3. Verstappen also seemed particularly quickly in the sector, becoming purple on almost all its push towers in this section of the track.
The Dutchman put an end to the P3 session, only 0.087 second behind Charles Leclerc first. The first four on the track were all separated by only a tenth of a second. Lewis Hamilton may also have entered the fold, but had to abandon his last thrust tour due to the red flags caused by Bortoleto.
It seems that McLaren, Ferrari and the Red Bull of Max Verstappen are all in the fight for the pole before the qualification session in Silverstone. The rain is also planned for the session, throwing another potential key in preparation.
