Ferrari junior Ollie Bearman has secured a full-time seat in Formula 1 from 2025 after agreeing a multi-year deal with American squad Haas.
The 19-year-old impressed the world of Formula 1 when he stood in at late notice for the unwell Carlos Sainz at Ferrari in Saudi Arabia. The Briton scored points on debut with a superb drive to seventh.
Bearman is currently competing in F2 with PREMA and took his first win of the season and fourth of his career last weekend in Austria in the Sprint Race.
He dovetails those duties with his role as reserve driver for Haas and Ferrari in Formula 1. He is also completing six FP1 appearances with Haas this year, the third of which will be this weekend at Silverstone.
“It’s hard to put into words just how much this means to me,” said Bearman. “To say out loud that I will be a Formula 1 driver for Haas F1 Team makes me so immensely proud.
