About this episode

Oliver Bearman discusses his recent crash and the narrative surrounding it in the context of Formula 1.

Oliver Bearman just brought up his crash again. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs In an interview with F1 podcast Up To Speed, Haas Formula 1 driver Oliver Bearman recalled the actions of Franco Colapinto and deemed them "unacceptable". His interview started to show me a pattern forming. One which we saw with Yuki Tsunoda, Liam Lawson and Lance Stroll last year. Drivers with less standing in Formula One and whose jobs are far less secure are seeing narrative blowback done to them from this driver. Is Ollie Bearman the villain here? No, he's got his own cause to fight for: a Ferrari seat. However, this stance is a very precarious one considering the evidence from Suzuka doesn't really back him up; nor did his team boss or the FIA...not even the telemetry could. #f1 #olliebearman #formula1 #formulone #f12026 #oliverbearman #francocolapinto #colapinto #bearman #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #haasf1team #alpinef1team #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #f1cars #f1car #f1gossip #f1podcast #f1drama Oliver Bearman has a media problem https://youtu.be/Djc3wINDVoQ Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence…
