Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu says Oliver Bearman's approach to practice sessions has 'more weight' than his Formula 2 performances in considering him for a Formula 1 seat.
Following Nico Hulkenberg's impending departure at the end of 2024 to join Sauber next season, in preparation for its Audi rebrand in 2026, Haas now has an empty seat for 2025. Bearman, who is currently reserve driver for both Haas and Ferrari, is considered as the favourite to take over Hulkenberg's drive due to his current position in the team and will take part in six FP1 sessions this year.
' In reflecting on how well Bearman has integrated himself into the team thus far, Komatsu labelled the Prema F2 driver as 'impressive' and noted that his first FP1 appearance for the team in Mexico last year had given him 'nothing to complain about'.
