Oliver Bearman feared he might get a Formula 1 race ban after committing a track-limits violation in his sprint battle with Andrea Kimi Antonelli at the United States Grand Prix.
Antonelli attacked Bearman for the last points-paying position on lap 14 of 19 in the Turn 15 section, with the Mercedes ahead at the apex but the Haas driver sweeping around the outside – all the way beyond the track – to rejoin in front.
