Could we see Ollie Bearman at Haas this season?

Could a young driver finally get their chance in F1?

Haas may not be the only team ready to promote one of their junior drivers after the Monaco Grand Prix.

Alpine also had a disastrous opening lap in Monaco, with Esteban Ocon colliding into team-mate Pierre Gasly, ending his race and picking up a place grid penalty for the Canadian GP.

Whilst Gasly was unscathed and managed an impressive P10 finish, Famin is reportedly unhappy with Ocon.

Speaking on Sky Sports F1 after the grand prix Ted Kravitz revealed that Famin was considering replacing Ocon with their junior driver Jack Doohan next season.

“I will say that I saw Famin on the roof of the Alpine pit building, called Jack Doohan the reserve driver over for a chat,” Kravitz said.
