Oliver Bearman, Ferrari’s promising young talent, is back in the spotlight. After his remarkable debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he’s ready to rev up the engines once again. This time, he will be part of the Haas team for the opening hour of practice at the Spanish Grand Prix, filling in for Nico Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg is set to leave Haas at the end of the season as he moves to Sauber, leaving a potential opening for Bearman.
The chatter among Formula 1 correspondents, Alex Jacques and Lawrence Barretto, suggests a likely move for Bearman to join Haas full-time in 2025. Alex Jacques remarked on Channel 4 that with Valtteri Bottas potentially heading to Williams, Haas could have a broad selection to choose from for their lineup. However, both Jacques and Barretto consider Bearman’s advancement from Formula 2 to a permanent Formula 1 seat almost guaranteed for 2025.
Despite not revealing much about the team’s future driver lineup, Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu confirmed that Bearman is a serious contender. If he wasn’t being considered for a future role, Bearman wouldn’t have been given the opportunity to compete in FP1 sessions. This strategic placement in FP1 highlights Haas’s interest in evaluating Bearman’s capabilities further.
As for Kevin Magnussen, another current Haas driver, there’s uncertainty shrouding his future with the team. While Komatsu is on the lookout for experienced drivers who can propel the team forward, Magnussen stated his desire to continue in Formula 1. However, he conceded there is a chance he might not be in the driver’s seat come 2025. He remains focused on pursuing his F1 career until any changes materialize.
In this ongoing shuffle of drivers and potential seat changes, Oliver Bearman’s future in Formula 1 appears increasingly promising. As he prepares for his upcoming FP1 outing, the motorsport community’s eyes are undoubtedly set on his performance and potential step up to join the high-speed world of F1 on a full-time basis.
Oliver Bearman’s upcoming FP1 session solidifies his place as a rising star to watch in Formula 1.
