Oliver Bearman hopes starring F1 debut is a “good job interview” for 2025
Oliver Bearman reflects on an impressive F1 debut at the Saudi Arabi♍𒁏an Grand Prix.
Oliver Bearman is hopeful his starring drive to seventh in his F1 debut turns out to be a “gooဣd job interview” for his prospects of securing a drive on the ﷽grid in 2025.
Bearman enjoyed a sensational first race in F1, beating 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to come home seventh for Ferrari.
The 18-year-old was drafted at the last minute as ♊a replacement for Carlos Sainz who had undergone surgery after he was diagnosed with appendicitis.
Beꩵarman narrowly missed out on Q2 before driving an error-free race to finish inside the points.
The Ferrari driver was put under immense pressure by Norris and Hamilton in the latter stages after t🍸hey switched to softs, but he maintained his composure to come away with six points.
Even befor♎e his debut this weekend, Bearman has been heavily tipped to join Haas in 2025.
Reflecting on the impact his performance will have on his career prospects, Bearman insist⛎s that his focus is on his F2🦂 season.
“First of all, F2 will be a bit less complicated now. I don’t have to worry about this battery strategy or anything like that. It’s great to have this opportunity in F1 but my main focus this year is F2. I hope I di෴d a good job interview today,” he said.
“I ౠthink F2 is fantastic training because I felt really prepared. I think you saw from my first lap in FP I was straight on the pace so a t♓estament to the feeder series for how well they prepare drivers for F1.
🍰“I think the crazy thing was how hard you can push, especially those last 10 laps when I had the guys behind on softs.
“I 💛was basically doing quali lap after quali lap. It required a lot of precision with the walls close like this but I loved every moment - it was fantastic.”
Bearman is unsure if he will b꧒e back in the car for the Australian Grand Prix in two weeks’ time.
“Carlos is looking well so I am glaℱd he’s having a good recovery. In the end, it’s not my decision to make,” he added.
“If he feels good and I hope he does then he will be in the car in Melbourne. At the end it’s his car, itꦚ’s his championship. I hope the best for him.”
