Bearman shares medical update after Japan GP crash

The British youngster was involved in a heavy incident at the Suzuka Circuit. Bearman ran onto the grass while taking evasive action behind Franco Colapinto’s Alpine. As a result, he lost control of his car and hit the barrier hard. He was also seen limping off the track after getting out of the car.

"Yeah, I'm all good," Bearman began to SportBible weeks after his crash.

He added that soon after, he was already working: "Actually, I was back driving on the simulator by Wednesday or Thursday, because my brother and I were practicing for an endurance race on the weekend.

Speaking on the Up To Speed podcast, Bearman criticised the Argentinian for moving across him prior to the corner, a move he may have got away with last season, but couldn't thanks to how the new Formula 1 cars are.

The Haas driver explained: "I think it was something we spoke about on Friday, which is even a bit more of a frustrating thing. We said between all the drivers, come on, we need to give each other a bit more respect.

Bearman has enjoyed a positive start to the season despite his heavy crash in Japan. The Briton is currently seventh in the standings with 17 points, sitting just behind drivers from the frontrunning teams.
