Oliver Bearman says he was "not proud" of his F1 qualifying debut, but received high-praise from Charles Leclerc.
The British teenager was drafted in on the morning of qualifying after Ferrari regular Sainz needed immediate surgery for appendicitis.
The 18-year-old, who became the youngest-ever British F1 driver, as well as the youngest to drive for Ferrari, was lauded by Leclerc after qualifying 11th for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. “He was straight up to speed and comfortable with the car. So it’s good. I’m happy for him, obviously. "At the moment not so proud, the racer in me knows that the car was quick enough to be in Q3, so a little bit disappointed with that,” he told Sky.
