Oliver Bearman and Pierre Gasly reflected on their collision in the United States Grand Prix, with Bearman receiving a 10-second penalty for the incident. Bearman said afterwards that he did not regret going for the move.
According to Bearman, he had gained two positions on the opening lap in Austin before attacking Gasly, who was running 10th, on the following lap into Turn 13. He said he realised the gap was closing and put two wheels on the yellow inside kerb during the attempt.
Bearman also said he was "pretty shocked" by what he described as a "crazy" penalty, adding that he "couldn’t disappear" in the moment. Both drivers later reflected on the clash after the race.
