British teenager Oliver Bearman will be a permanent fixture on the 2025 Formula 1 grid after signing a multi-year contract with Haas.
The 19-year-old Ferrari Academy driver made a hugely impressive F1 debut for the Italian team when standing in for Carlos Sainz at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in March. Bearman's signing with Haas had appeared likely since the team announced at the start of the season that he would feature in six practice sessions for them during the 2024 campaign, the third of which will take place at this weekend's British Grand Prix.
Confirmation of Bearman's signing leaves just six seats unconfirmed on the 2025 grid, with Mercedes, RB, Alpine, Williams, Sauber and Haas each having one to fill. 'Jeddah weekend one of the most important of my life'While Bearman was already considered a hot prospect by many within F1, his reputation soared at March's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix when Sainz's illness left Ferrari needing a last-minute replacement.
