Leading figures in F1 request a safety review
Drivers and leading figures within Formula One have called for urgent action given their serious concern over the potential dangers now inherent in the sport after Oliver Bearman was involved in a huge accident at the Japanese Grand Prix.
The crash, caused by cars coming at one another at enormously different speeds, was described by the British driver as “scary” and by his Haas team principal as a lucky escape. The race was ultimately won for Mercedes by Kimi Antonelli, the 19-year-old in the process becoming the youngest driver to lead the world championship.
