Olive𒁏r Bearman has been told that his performance in FP1 at Imola on Friday will be crucial to deciding whether he lands a full-time F1 dr꧟ive.

The British teenager will partake in the first of six planned FP1 outings fo🐈r Haas at next weekend’s F1 Emilia Romagna 🐓Grand Prix.

Bearman has already shone this season when deputising for the ill Carlos Sainz, driving his Ferrari to ♐P7 in Australia ahead of Lewis Hamilton.

His next appearance in Formula 1, o🃏n Friday for Haas in the first practice session of the round, now has added impo🎃rtance.

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu hܫas told Bearman that his FP1 performances are more important than his Formula 2 races in dec🐲iding whether he will be given a full-time drive for 2025.

“I'd put probably more weight on what we do with him, how he 🔯performs in our environment,” Komatsu said.

“But, of coꦏurse, he need💖s to perform in F2 - that's clear."

Bearman’s outing on🍎 Friday has even higher stakes because Haas driver Kevin Magnusse🍌n is just two points away from a race ban.

That would m🌳ean Bearman could deputise for Magnussen this season.

There is at least one vacancy at Haas next year because Nico H꧑ulkenberg has♛ confirmed his move to Sauber.

Magnussen’s contract is also expiring so Bearman has a grꦍeat chance to get in the mix.

Komatus said about Bearman becoming a full-time driver next🍌 season: "It's completely open.

"We've got six sessions lined up fo✅r him. We will s♚ee the first of that in Imola.

“We are really looking forward to see how we can develop him, and how well we can work to๊gether.

"I've said✅ it many times before, he is very impressive…”
