Azerbaijan chaos as Bearman crash causes yet another red flag

Oliver Bearman crashed at the first corner just over halfway through third practice at the Baku City Circuit.

Oliver Bearman crashed at the first corner of the Baku City Circuit, triggering a second red flag in third practice. 

The British driver who has replaced Kevin Magnussen for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, took too much speed into the first corner. 

Bearman attempted to bail out of the corner and enter the run-off area, however, he did so too late and made significant contact with the tyre barrier.

Haas' rookie driver was hugely frustrated with himself over the radio, with the front left section of his car having sustained damage.

It marked the second red flag of the session with 27 minutes remaining after Esteban Ocon came to a halt just 15 minutes into the final session ahead of qualifying.

Alex Albon topped the timesheets when Bearman crashed, courtesy of a 1:44.371.
