As the qualifiers for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix are concluded, many fans are surprised by how well Oliver Bearman performed. The 18-year-old has become the youngest driver to participate in a Grand Prix and he is already turning some heads. The young driver was called in to substitute Carlos Sainz Jr, as the Spaniard had to undergo appendicitis surgery.

Starting P11 in his first race, Bearman didn’t do as well as his teammate but managed to impress everyone. Charles Leclerc, on the other hand, will be starting towards the front of the grid, right behind Max Verstappen.

In response to the above comment, this user spoke about how other teams could use this as intel on the car, as this is usually a part of the car the outside world does not see. This could mean valuable information for other teams on the SF24. However, this user stated that there is no new information to be learned that the other teams didn’t know before.

One user made a joke about the photographer not getting entry to Monza. The city of Monza being a place well known to be the home ground for Ferrari, this leak might make security keep an eye out for the leaker, if he is found that is.

With that said, this is a rare sight in Formula 1, where we get to see the bottom of the car. Formula 1 is not only about what’s under the hood, or in this case, behind the driver but every aspect of the car matters. Maybe there is a secret to learn from the floor of the car that other team experts can put their finger on. That being said, do you think this reveals any information on the SF24? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
