Bearman Survives 50G Crash at Japanese GP

0:00It's March 30th, F1 news today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff. Haas Driver Ali Bareman walked away from a nasty 50G crash at the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka. The 20-year-old smashed into the barriers at Spoon Curve during the mid-race action on that 53 lap Sunday sprint. He'd started from position 18 and was charging up the field when he had to swerve onto the grass to dodge Franco-Kalapintos Alpine ahead. Fusing speeds got wild, leaving Bareman no room as Kalapintos shifted track position. Bareman limped out of the wreck with Marshall's help but got the all clear at the medical center. He called it a scary moment, apologized to his crew for the damage car, and said he's bruised but fine, with adrenaline fading on the long trip home. He pointed fingers partly at the new regulations creating massive speed deltas, like 50 kilometers per hour over speeds never seen before in Formula. One, Stewart's reviewed it but took no action.

They're set for April meetings to crunch data on energy tweaks, prioritizing safety while ruling out rust changes for now. Teams got a month to rebuild and hit Miami stronger.
