Oliver Bearman crashes during Australian GP practice session

Oliver Bearman, a rookie driver for Haas, crashed during his first practice session at the Australian Grand Prix. The 19-year-old spun into a wall after making a mistake at Turn 10, leaving his team with only one car for preparations. Bearman apologized to his team for the incident, acknowledging it had been a "messy weekend." He expressed disappointment at not being able to complete a lap, which hindered the team's understanding of the car's performance. The crash caused damage to the gearbox and engine, prompting Haas to make repairs. This could lead to penalties for Bearman later in the season due to limited component usage.
