Haas driver Bearman not counting on massive advantage from fast starts in Ferrari-powered car

Haas driver Oliver Bearman says his team is “exactly where we want to be” heading into the Formula 1 season but cautioned that people shouldn't read too much into the fast starts of his Ferrari-powered car in the preseason. The Ferrari power unit used by the American Haas team raised eyebrows with lightning-fast getaways in preseason testing, boosted by a smaller turbo. “I think Bahrain (testing) was a bit of an outlier,” Bearman told The Associated Press.
