Bearman Criticizes Tsunoda for Dangerous Driving in the US GP

Bearman Criticizes Tsunoda’s Driving Style at the United States Grand Prix

The young Formula 1 driver, Oliver Bearman, expressed his dissatisfaction with the way Yuki Tsunoda drove during the United States Grand Prix. Bearman described Tsunoda’s driving as dangerous and a bad example for young aspiring drivers. The tension between both drivers arose when Tsunoda, defending his position, forced Bearman to take evasive action to avoid an incident. Bearman, visibly annoyed, reacted firmly after the race.

“I felt that what he did was quite dangerous, against the spirit of how we should race and against the image we should project to the children growing up in karting and those things,” Bearman declared.

Bearman went on to explain that Tsunoda performed dangerous maneuvers for several laps, and when trying to overtake, he did not leave enough space on the track, which forced Bearman to take action to avoid a collision. The Haas driver, who finished in ninth place, considered that the incident prevented him from obtaining a better position. Bearman also criticized Tsunoda’s performance in the sprint race, where, according to him, he had similar actions.

“That’s racing, right? I was totally in control, I had no lock-up, and I was literally side by side. I’m not his teammate, I’m just fighting to be in the top 10 or more, so yeah, I thought it was okay,” commented Tsunoda.

Tsunoda added that he doesn’t believe he made any dangerous moves under braking and lamented the way the race unfolded.
