Accident during training
“Idiot!” Albon scolds Bearman after crash
Scary moment during the first practice session of the Mexican Grand Prix. A crash ended the session early for Ferrari driver Oliver Bearman and Williams driver Alexander Albon. An angry Albon radioed "Idiot" afterwards.
Albon was exhausted after the incident. The replay shows that the 28-year-old had lost control of his car before turn 10. Behind him, the young Bearman rushed up and touched his rear wheel. Albon hissed "Idiot", drove into the wall and then had to end his race. The young driver in the Ferrari was also unable to continue.
"I'm okay," Albon then radioed and was picked up, just like his opponent a few meters away. Fortunately, neither driver was injured in the violent crash. The Williams, however, was damaged at the front and rear.
Incident under investigation
Albon's anger can probably be explained by the fact that the young Briton flew up and threw him off his rhythm. Had Bearman not been so close, the experienced driver could probably have prevented the retirement.
However, it seems that the Ferrari driver cannot be blamed for the incident. However, the stewards will take another look at the situation after the session. Bitter: The cars had to be taken away and valuable practice time was lost.
