Ollie Bearman news

Ollie Bearman is a hugely talented young F1 driver who was born in Havering, London on May 8, 2005. He left school to move to the Ferrari Driver Academy at the age of 16, and has not looked back. He got a shock F1 debut for Ferrari at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, stepping in to replace Carlos Sainz when the Spaniard underwent surgery for appendicitis. Bearman received rave reviews - and the 'Driver of the Day' award - for an assured drive into P7. Haas would get an opportunity to replace the banned Kevin Magnussen later in 2024 and he retained the seat full-time for the 2025 season. He again impressed observers with his speed and maturity, coming close to his first podium in Mexico City when he ended the race in P4. Ollie would end the season in 13th position with 41 points. It is testament to his potential that Bearman has been widely touted as a potential successor to Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari one day.
