"I guess now if I'm on the outside I'll just go for it, no?" Oliver Bearman was in combative rather than apologetic mode in Baku when asked to reflect on the Monza penalty which has left him on the cusp of a one-race suspension.
Bearman was judged to have given Carlos Sainz insufficient room when the Williams driver made a dive around the outside at the Variante della Roggia chicane on lap 41 of the Italian Grand Prix. As well as a 10s time penalty, Bearman was given two penalty points which brings him to a total of 10.
