Teenage sensation Oliver Bearman has been announced as a Ferrari reserve driver for the 2024 season, ready to step in for Charles Leclerc or Carlos Sainz when needed.

The Brit joins Robert Schwartzman and former Sauber and Alfa Romeo driver Antonio Giovinazzi, both of whom are also competing in the Hypercar class with AF Corse.

The 18-year-old has had a largely successful junior career, winning the Italian F4 Championship and the ADAC Formula 4 Championship[ in 2021 and finishing third in F3 a year later with Prema Racing.
