‘Ferrari could easily do a deal’ - Four F1 teams interested in Oliver Bearman?
After his outstanding F1 debut, could four teams be looking at Oliver Beaꦓrman for next year?
Four teams - including Haas - have been tipped as being possible destinations for Ferrari F1 super sub Oliver Bearman next year.
Bearman starred on his F1 debut as a last-minute replacement for Ferrari regular 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, who was diagnosed with appendicitis, at the Saudi Ara༺bian Grand Prix𒊎.
The 18-year-old Briton narrowly missed out on Q3 as he qualified 11th, before finishing an impressive seventh in the race, ahead of McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and seven-time world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.
Bearman - who is racing in Formula 2 this season - is already being linked with a possible full-time F1 graduation as early as 20𒁃25, with Ferrari customer Haas appearing to be the most obvious landing spot.
However, BBC Sp🧸ort’s chief F1 writer Andrew Benson has suggeste✤d that three other teams could also be interested in his services.
“Oliver Bearman's drive to seventh place on his debut for Ferrari was proof of nothingꦜ but his great talent,” Benson wrote.
“It🗹 was an outstanding performance, which was rightly lauded as indication of him being a potential future star.”
When asked if he deserves a seat for next year during a BBC Q&A, Benson replied: “Without doubt - and his team-mate 𝕴Charles Lecle♎rc, among others, said as much.
“Where is it likely to be? Bearman is a member of the Ferrari driver academy, and they🌜 won't be wanting to let him go. So the obvious candidate is Haas🌜, which is a close partner of Ferrari.
"But quite a few teams are likely to be interested in him after his performance in Saudi Arabia, so Ferrari could just as🍸 easily do a deal with Williams, Sauber, or perhaps even Alpiౠne.”
Bearman, who has earned glowing praise from the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and Hamilton,🍰 admittꦰed he is hopeful that “a door could open” for a permanent F1 seat in 2025.
"I don't know what else I can do because I don't think I'll be in F1 for the rest of the year,” Bearman said in Jeddah. "So🉐 that was my goal, to do ಌa great showing this weekend.
"I think I did a decent job, so that's alright and that's all I can do, keep pushing in F2 and cross my fingers, that's it▨.🔴”
Speaking about Haas, who🗹 share a close relationship with Ferrari, Bearman added: "I have a lot of practices with Haas this year, so I'm looking forward to building up a relationship and gaining more miles in the car.
"And hopefully a door could open there [for 202🧸5], that would be fantastic.”
