Albon and Bearman Collide During Mexican GP Practice

A significant crash occurred during the first practice session of the Mexico City Grand Prix involving Alex Albon and Oliver Bearman, resulting in a red flag. Albon, pushing for a fast lap, collided with Bearman's Ferrari after losing control at high speed, leading to substantial damage for both cars. Albon expressed frustration over the radio, blaming Bearman, while Bearman defended himself, stating he was stationary when hit. The incident has drawn attention from stewards for further investigation, as both drivers ended their sessions prematurely. Williams team boss James Vowles described the situation as 'frustrating' and noted the need to clarify what transpired before the collision. This incident marks a disappointing debut for Bearman in the Ferrari, having previously participated in FP1 with Haas last year.
