In response to British driver and commentator Sam Chook, Oliver Bearman has every little thing it takes to hitch a high System 1 crew like Ferrari and battle for victories. Naturally, probably the most logical vacation spot would appear to be Ferrari, maybe as Lewis Hamilton’s successor or, in keeping with some latest rumours, whilst a alternative for Charles Leclerc.
Bearman has already pushed for Ferrari in System 1, when on the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix he was known as as much as substitute Carlos Sainz, making his debut within the premier class. This 12 months, the British driver is competing in his first full season with Haas and has usually proven that he’s on the tempo, if not even sooner, than his teammate Esteban Ocon.
Though he has collected solely 18 factors up to now, putting him nineteenth within the drivers’ standings, Chook emphasised that Bearman has the correct expertise to race on the high. “I give him a 12 months, perhaps two, and he’ll be in an enormous seat, combating for wins and podiums. He’s too good to not be there… for my part, he’s usually been a lot sooner than Esteban Ocon, particularly in qualifying,” Chook defined through the BBC Chequered Flag podcast.
“Okay, there have been a couple of errors at instances, however he’s exhibiting he’s ok to race on the entrance of the System 1 grid. He arrived with sky-high expectations after his sudden debut in Saudi Arabia, when Carlos Sainz couldn’t race due to appendicitis, and I feel this 12 months he’s been actually, actually nice to look at.”
“In the event you have a look at all of the rookies, I feel Isack Hadjar has been wonderful, Bearman too, and people two have been the very best debutants for my part. I do know Andrea Kimi Antonelli has improved just lately, however I wouldn’t say he has stood out. Bearman and Hadjar, and typically additionally Gabriel Bortoleto, are those who’ve impressed probably the most.”
