Oliver Bearman has hinted he might be prepared to raise Yuki Tsunoda's move in the United States during the Mexican GP drivers' briefing.
Battling for position in Austin, Bearman attempted to pass Tsunoda's Red Bull up the inside of Turns 15 and 16, but was forced onto the grass after a late defensive move from the Japanese driver.
Briton Bearman spun out, but was able to get going again without losing position as he went on to claim ninth place for his second successive points finish in the upgraded Haas machine.
However, Bearman was furious with Tsunoda, claiming that: "What he did was quite dangerous, against the spirit of how we should go racing and against the image that we should project to kids growing up in karting."
A week on, Bearman has not changed his thinking of the incident, as he did not rule out the possibility of further action being taken in the drivers' briefing.
"Yeah, I still have the same assessment," Bearman told media, including RacingNews365, a few days after the incident.
"Of course, when I finished the race, I was not happy, and there was adrenaline and stuff, but that corner is one where you can do these kinds of dangerous moves without it being that obvious because of the nature of the corner.
"A lot of people don't see what I saw and what we saw."
When then asked if he was prepared to raise the matter in the Friday evening drivers' briefing, Bearman confirmed it was a possibility.
"Maybe, maybe," he said.
"This corner where the track is turning left anyway, you can just say: 'Well, I'm taking the apex', but if you look at every other lap, that's not how it looks.
"The key thing is that it is reactive and that's the bit which is worrying, I would say, and the fact that he broke super early as well. That is where it becomes dangerous."
