Oliver Bearman has condemned the online abuse received by fellow rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli following the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix. Branding those who sent abuse to the Mercedes driver as "scum of the earth", he adds yet another voice to those in support of the Italian.
Antonelli was subjected to a wave of social media abuse and hate following the Losail race, where a mistake allowed Lando Norris to overtake. This moment became the focus of intense criticism from fans of the championship, who wrongly saw this as a purposeful move to allow the title contender past.
