168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ollie Bearman’s big F1 breakthrough was almos𝔉t lost through an🦩 error with a mobile phone.

A year ago, then-Ferrari junior Bearman was called up for the F1🥀 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to replace the unwell Carlos Sainz.

His terrific points-scoring performance - ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris - helped him earn a Haas race seat for 2025.

But Sky Sports’ David Croft toওld the back🌠-story: “Bearman told me that he nearly didn’t get the call!

“His manager went to Saudi without muc🧜h data on his ꩵphone.

“He didn’t have a sim to use abroad, 🍌and he ran out of mo🥂ney five minutes after [Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur] rang him!

“It was the most important ph💖one call of his life!

🎶🐼“Ollie’s manager picks up the phone and says ‘Hi Fred’.

“Fred says ‘I want to speak to Ollie’.

“He says ‘no problem’ then the phone cuts out because he’s 🧔run out of data.

“Ollie had abou♉t 30 seconds on his phone to talk to Fred. He said ‘be quick b꧂ecause I’m running out of data!’

“Fred said ‘get to the airport now’.”

Haas told 'they've got to step up' in F1 2025

Haas were bottom of the pile i𒀰n 2023 but rebounded impressively last year.

They have two new drꦛivers th🤡is season, rookie Bearman and ex-Alpine driver Esteban Ocon.

Crofty added: “Haas did a sensational job last year. They’ve g🅠one against Fe𝓀rrari in terms of their front suspension this year.

“They haven’t changed from ⛎the push rod in 2024, in the way that Ferrari have, who have gone to a ไpull rod.

“Ayao Komatsu has settled into t๊he team principal role. At testing last year, Haas just🏅 ran and ran and ran race simulations to understand why they were wearing their tyres out.

“Their results came after wh🦩at they did in testing.

“‘Where ♔did we struggle and how do we put it right?’

“Now they’ve got to stꦉep up. They are good at setting ಞtheir car up.

“They have an association with Toyota as well, so we�☂�’ll see what bears fruit.

“They have two new drivers, I thiಞnk it’s a brilliant pairing.”
