F1: Haas receives good news with Bearman's penalty expiration

Oliver Bearman had two penalty points removed from his FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) super license ahead of the Canadian GP weekend. The penalty had been applied in May 2025, after the Haas driver overtook Carlos Sainz under a red flag during a free practice session at the Monaco GP.

With the penalty expiration, Bearman reduced his total from 10 to 8 points on the super license. Even so, he remains the driver with the most points on the Formula 1 grid, two ahead of Liam Lawson from Racing Bulls.
