The Haas F1 team has provided a major update on the condition of Oliver Bearman following his massive crash at the Japanese Grand Prix.
The British driver was involved in a dramatic incident while closing in on Franco Colapinto’s Alpine. Bearman spun off the track and slammed into the barriers at the iconic Spoon Curve.
The impact was severe enough that Bearman required assistance from the track marshals to walk away from the wreck. Haas has now detailed the effects of the crash and the findings from medical checks conducted at the circuit.
In a team statement, Haas confirmed:
"50G impact – has had X-ray at Medical Centre. No fractures – right knee contusion following the impact."
