Mr. Bearman, the Resilient Rookie

Oliver Bearman has shown promise in his 2025 debut with Haas, earning 8 points with a best finish of eighth in Monaco. Despite an unlucky streak of four consecutive 11th-place finishes, his performances have kept Haas in the midfield battle. The Briton’s transition from Ferrari’s academy to a full-time seat is notable.

The 19-year-old’s standout 2024 Ferrari debut in Saudi Arabia set high expectations, which he has met with consistent pace. Bearman’s ability to avoid mistakes, despite penalties in Monaco and Silverstone, reflects his maturity. His link to Ferrari’s driver program adds intrigue to his campaign.

Paired with Esteban Ocon, Bearman’s performances provide a benchmark for Haas’ progress. His potential to score more points in the season’s second half is clear.

The Bear knocks

The British rookie’s dream debut included a stunning P4 in Mexico—defending heroically against Piastri for Haas’ joint-best result—following points in Jeddah and Imola, rocketing him to 13th overall and cementing his status as a Ferrari-backed prodigy.
