The young English driver accompanied his overtakes on his rivals with a cheerful “Ciao!”
In una gara poco movimentata dal punto di vista dei sorpassi, Ollie Bearman ha acceso gli spettatori con una grande rimonta dalla diciassettesima posizione dopo il pit stop alla decima posizione, poi diventata ottava al termine della gara grazie alla squalifica delle due Ferrari.
The young English driver’s comeback was marked by some amusing team radio messages: in fact, Ollie accompanied his overtakes on Liam Lawson’s Red Bull and Jack Doohan’s Alpine with a fun and very Italian “Ciao!”
With this team radio, Bearman wanted to highlight his experience and intelligence in the two maneuvers he executed, despite his rookie status. In both overtakes, the young English driver for Haas pulled alongside on the long straight leading to Turn 14, braked earlier than his rivals, and gained the position with a switchback move.

“I overtook someone and then said ‘ciao.’ I did it twice, at Turn 14. With a Red Bull and an Alpine.” ,” explained the English driver to Ocon. “I want to see it!” replied his teammate, amused by Ollie’s embarrassment.
