‘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 Bearma🤡n 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 Sa♏udi Arabian Grand Prix.
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 2025, with Ferrari customer Haas appearinꦡg to be the most obvious landing spot.
However, BBC Sport’s chief F1 write🎐r Andrew Benဣson has suggested 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 nothing but 💟his great talent,” Benson wrote.
“It wa𓆉s an outstanding performance, which was rightly lauded as indication of him༺ being a potential future star.”
When asked if he deservesꦍ a seat for next year during a BBC Q&A, Benson replied: “Without doubt - and his team-mat෴e Charles Leclerc, among others, said as much.
“Where is it likely to be? Bearman is a member of the꧑ Ferrari driver academy, and they won't be wanting to let him go. So the obviou♋s candidate is Haas, which is a close partner of Ferrari.
"But quite a few teams are likely to be iཧnterested in him after his performance in Saudi Arabia, so Ferrari could just as easily do a deal with Williams, Sauber, or pe⛎rhaps even Alpine.”
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, admitted 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 go♔al, to do a 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 finger𒐪s, 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 u🉐p a relationship and gaining more miles in the car.
"And hopefully a door could open the𓄧re [for 2025], that would be fantastic.”
