Oliver Bearman details Lewis Hamilton F1 Baku battle

Haas stand-in Oliver Bearman gave a detailed assessment of his battle with Lewis Hamilton in the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Bearman emerged a few seconds in front of Hamilton after his pit stop with the duo on the fringes of the points positions.

As the race at Baku wound down, Bearman, chasing Franco Colapinto’s Williams was pounced upon by Hamilton on the inside line at Turn 1.

“You know when you go around the outside that he’s going to leave you space, which is a nice feeling,” Bearman told Motorsport.com.

That’s a nice feeling and it’s always very clean but hard when I was racing him.”

Bearman rued pushing to pass Colapinto which hurt his tyres and handed the initiative to Hamilton.

The ever self-critical Bearman acknowledged the sequence a “mistake.”

He explained “I was really pushing hard for some laps to overtake Franco and my tyres were getting really hot.

“It was exactly at that point that he pounced on me and could overtake me quite easily.
