Ollie Bearman has accused Yuki Tsunoda of making a “dangerous” manoeuvre during the United States Grand Prix as the pair clashed on track in the battle for seventh.<\/p>\n
Bearman<\/a> was making strong progress at the Circuit of The Americas having started eighth on the grid and by Lap 34 he was closing on the rear of Tsunoda\u2019s<\/a> Red Bull<\/a> ahead.<\/p>\n However, as the Red Bull closed the door on an attempted overtake up the inside of Turn 15 from Bearman, the Haas driver was forced to take avoiding action and span. In the end the Briton came home in ninth place.<\/p>\n \u201cI felt that what he did was very dangerous, against the spirit of the regulations and against the spirit of going racing actually,\u201d Bearman said, accusing Tsunoda of moving under braking.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not how we grow up racing, this is not how we go racing at this level. It\u2019s not the way we want to teach young kids watching how we should go racing, because you should not move in reaction to other cars, and that\u2019s what I felt that he did.<\/p>\n \u201cAlthough I avoided a crash, I lost two positions. It\u2019s a big shame, and disappointing because there was a possibility of more \u2013 at least eighth, if not seventh \u2013 because clearly, I had more pace than him at that stage.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I feel that he\u2019s been doing these desperate moves. In the Sprint, he was divebombing down the inside and the same in the main race at Turn 1.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of risk, and I probably should have left a bit more margin for that type of driving.\u201d<\/p>\n The stewards took no action for the move in question on the track as Tsunoda went on to finish seventh himself in the Grand Prix.<\/p>\n Defending his actions, the Red Bull driver said: \u201cI\u2019ll have to check from his view onboard, but obviously, how we ended up if unfortunate. We were fighting hard and it was fighting good up until then, it\u2019s just unfortunate how we ended up like that.<\/p>\n \u201cBut in my view, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve done anything extremely wrong, and that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to Sky Sports F1, Tsunoda added: “I don’t think I moved under the braking.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ollie Bearman has accused Yuki Tsunoda of making a “dangerous” manoeuvre during the United States Grand Prix as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[1687,372,6537,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-213198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-f1","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
