Bearman confirmed for Haas in ‘25. Really good news for him and I’m glad to see some new drivers coming through.
Really good news to hear that Oliver Bearman will be on the grid next year.He was very impressive as a short notice stand in for Carlos at the Saudi GP earlier this year. Good to see another British driver on the grid.
Can't help but feel this might be another Devries situation. Bearman did well in Saudi considering the circumstances, but his junior formula results otherwise aren't that a superstar. Meanwhile Paul Aron might become a rookie F2 championship without any F1 team giving him the time of day. I suspect it's easier for a decent driver to get 95% up to speed quickly (enough to be closer than expected as a sub) than it is to find those last two tenths.
You might be right, but F2 results aren’t always the best way to judge a driver at F1 level. I don’t have any expectations particularly, I’m just happy he’s on the grid, he has a chance to impress and I’d rather see how he gets on, than watch another season from one of the old men or failed drivers, who’d otherwise be occupying that seat.
