Vasseur downplays future Ferrari F1 chance for Bearman
The Frenchman advises the 18-year-old to focus on his F2 program and take full advantage of his scheduled Haas FP1 running. Ferrari currently has no openings due to Leclerc’s contract extension and Hamilton’s upcoming multi-year deal. Bearman may be placed elsewhere temporarily until a seat becomes available, potentially at Haas. Vasseur emphasizes it’s premature to discuss Bearman following Hamilton’s path at Ferrari. Bearman’s upcoming FP1 sessions with Haas in various locations are seen as crucial for his development. The decision to designate Bearman as Ferrari’s reserve driver for Jeddah and upcoming races was made to balance F2 and F1 commitments for other drivers. Vasseur highlights the importance of continuous learning and improvement for Bearman’s future success in motorsport.
