Imagine getting pole in F2 and having to retire from the weekend, to instead get to race an F1 wagon. Up the Bearman! #f1

Huge news with implications for F1 and F2. Carlos Sainz has been diagnosed with appendicitis and will require surgery. He will be replaced by reserve driver Oliver Bearman. Oli had taken pole for the feature race last night.

Wishing well to Carlos for his recovery. Huge opportunity for Bearman jumping straight into the Ferrari for his F1 debut.

Carlos Sainz has been diagnosed with appendicitis and will require surgery. As from FP3 and for the rest of this weekend, he will be replaced by reserve driver Oliver Bearman. Oliver will therefore take no further part in this round of the F2 Championship. The Ferrari family

The task ahead of Bearman is huge. His F2 pole lap yesterday was a 1:42.2. Checo’s F1 pole here last year was 1:28.2. So while he may know the track, it’ll suddenly be coming at him 14 seconds faster over the 6km lap. Massive challenge. It’s gonna feel like a rocket ship.
