Who else will lineup at Ferrari in 2025?

Hamilton will partner Charles Leclerc at Ferrari in 2025, with the Monegasque driver also making an on-track appearance at Fiorano on Wednesday.

Aside from their F1 team, Ferrari boasts a plethora of talent within their junior ranks as their driver academy develops the talent of future F1 stars.

Ferrari’s driver academy currently includes stars such as Dino Beganovic, who will move up to F2 in 2025, and F1 Academy stars Maya Weug and Aurelia Nobels.

The strength of Ferrari’s young driver programme was exemplified in 2024 when junior driver, Ollie Bearman, stepped up at the team and replaced Carlos Sainz for the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix finishing seventh.

Bearman's impressive performance earned him a full-time spot on the grid for 2025, and will race at Haas alongside Esteban Ocon.

However, the Brit is now absent from Ferrari’s driver academy page, with Bearman's profile removed from the team's website. Although his image did still appear among other young drivers, clicking on the driver results in a redirect away and back to a driver lineup where he is absent.

GPFans contacted Ferrari for comment, with Bearman's status within the Ferrari team yet to be confirmed for 2025.
