If Carlos Sainz had not contracted acute appendicitis, Oliver Bearman could have been on the podium among the top three in the F2 sprint race. In fact, the 18-year-old driver should have competed in this preliminary Formula 1 event, but he was called up by Ferrari on Friday. The three drivers who finished on the podium without Bearman in the race told GPblog and others that they are proud of the Brit and are supporting him.
