The F1 driver market could soon go into full swing as drivers try to get themselves in the best position possible for success.
Oliver Bearman has predicted there will be movement in the driver market this year as competitors assess who is best placed in the pecking order. Formula 1 regulations underwent a major overhaul this season, with significant changes made to both the power units and aerodynamic rules. A number of current drivers are out of contract at the end of the campaign, creating uncertainty over how next year’s grid may shape up. Bearman is widely tipped for a future Ferrari drive, having been part of the team’s junior academy for several years. However, the Briton says he is not focused on securing a seat as early as possible, as he refuses to work to a specific timeline. With five rounds completed, a clear pecking order has begun to emerge, and upgrades could still reshuffle the order as the season progresses. Bearman stated that drivers will be closely monitoring rival teams to assess where the best opportunities for success may arise.
