“We were on for a good race, I think, but unfortunately my wheel wasn’t attached properly in the pit stops.”

Reflecting on the weekend as a whole, following the latest batch of Haas updates, Bearman continued: “The pace was good and the car felt good all weekend.

“There’s been quite a few points that we need to brush up on, I don’t think it’s just… it’s a number of things. [Qualifying] was totally out of our hands, but we have a bit of work to do to put things together.”
