Bearman reveals altered plans for F1 break after heavy Japan GP crash

The British driver was involved in a big incident after he had to take avoiding action and went on to the grass before the Spoon corner at the Japanese Grand Prix.

When asked about his plans for the next month, after the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian GPs were cancelled in April, the Haas F1 driver agreed that they are now a bit different.

He said: "Yes, I guess they've changed a little. Definitely take a few days off to rest and recover and make sure I feel better. But then as normal, start preparing towards the next race."

After crashing into the barrier, the talented Briton limped off the track. Talking to the media, he added in Suzuka: "Yes, everything good first of all. I'm absolutely fine. It was a scary moment that happened out there, but everything is okay which is the main thing."

Bearman also highlighted that he felt bad for his team due to the damage to his car. "I could only apologize from the bottom of my heart to the team for that because it's a lot of work for them."
