I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
The first crash of 2025 has just unfolded in Australia. Oliver Bearman caused considerable damage to his Haas with a big hit. The Briton himself got away unscathed, however.
With around 20 minutes to go in the first practice session, Ollie Bearman suffered a dramatic incident which eliminated the 19-year-old from the session. Coming into sector three, Bearman became the first driver to find the barrier after dipping his car into the gravel and then losing it fully. The Brit jumped out of the car safely, but his Haas team will be upset after an incident during a crucial learning session.
The crash caused big damage on the right side of the Haas. There'll be damage to the suspension, side pod and the front and rear wing. With Bearman sliding across the entire width of the track, there will have to be plenty of work done to the track for the session to continue.
