Bearman handed five-second penalty for Brazil pit release

Oliver Bearman has received a five-second time penalty after FIA stewards ruled that Haas released him from the pit stop in an unsafe manner at the Brazilian Grand Prix. His release put him into the path of Charles Leclerc's Ferrari, forcing the Monegasque to brake and take evasive action towards the pit wall. The stewards stated that Bearman's penalty does not alter his final classified position of 17th.

The Brazilian Grand Prix also saw Kimi Antonelli receive the same sanction for an unsafe release into the path of Franco Colapinto's Alpine, with his classified result unchanged. Leclerc was separately penalised five seconds for a collision with Liam Lawson's Racing Bulls later in the race, after the two cars rubbed wheels exiting the uphill left-hander at Juncao.
