Oliver Bearman feels he “wanted a bit too much, too so🧸on” after crashing his Haas Formula 1 car heavily in opening practice for the Australian Grand Prix.

With about 20 minutes remaining in FP1, full-season rookie B♕earman lost control of his car going into Turn 10, running wide over the gravel trap before slammiꦚng heavily into the wall.

The 19-year-old was able to get out of the Haas unaided, but the debris throw🐼n around the track prompted a red flag.

Speaking afterwards, Bearman explained that it was ultimately a small mistake that led to a major crash, an꧑d faulted his own ap𓆏proach towards practice running for the damage he caused.

“A bit sad to have missed all the runn🍸ing today,” he told F1’s official site. “The guys did a great job to try to get the car back out, we just ran out of time.

“I just had a small mistakಌe at Turn 10, which put me a bit wide and out there it is very very bumpy. Unfortunately, I lost the c🌳ar.

In his Friday media sessio🌜n, he added: “The feeling was good. I think [it was] just [down to] wanting a bit too much, too soon – whic🎃h is kind of my approach, which isn't really the right one for F1.

“In F2, you🐬 go straight to quali after the first practice session, and in F1, you have two more, so there's no nee⛎d to be straight on the limit. Maybe I overdid it slightly, but it's totally on me.

“💛Just a bit too much steering lock over the compression at the apex of 10, which sent me wide, and🧸 it's quite bumpy out there. I just lost it.

“Once you're in the gravel🎀, it's so bumpy, and there is asphalt, grass, bumps and I was🦩 already out of it, but once you're there, honestly, there is no more control, unfortunately.”

The💜 damage incurred to t🍨he car was so significant that Haas couldn’t repair it in time to allow Bearman to rack up some crucial miles in FP2.

While the Briton🧸 was seen wearing his race suit🅰 and helmet in the garage with just a few minutes left on the clock, his team simply ran out of time to send him back out on track.

However, Bearman is not willing to write off the weekend just yet, especiaꦦlly with rain being forecast on Sunday.

“For sure it⛎’s ꧟not over,” he said. “I struggled a little bit but I really felt confident in the car - maybe too much.

“I really felt at home and nice in the car. I was building up  really nicely and the mistake was ♚unfortunate.

“By no means over. 💟FP3 is a long session, then qualifying. The race will be a bit of a roll of the dice, it looks li൩ke at the moment.”
