Oliver Bearman difficult weekend continues in Melbourne. The Briton first crashed in FP1, could not drive in FP2 and ended up in the gravel trap in FP3. He then got eliminated without a lap time in Q1.
Bearman got out on track after the red flag of FP3, but he had a gearbox issue. That is possibly because of one of the aforementioned crash, after which is car had to be reassembled. During his first lap, Bearman reported the issue over the team radio: "Oh, I have a problem with the gearbox. Ah no, no, no, I can't shift to fourth." He returned to the pit lane after.
