Bearman to conduct FP1 runs for Haas in Mexico, Abu Dhabi
According to FIA regulations, every race driver must give up an FP1 session for a rookie who has started no more than two grands prix. Haas is one of the teams that has not yet given a rookie a chance in the first practice session of a grand prix weekend in 2023. Oliver Bearman, who is currently competing in the Formula 2 Championship, will have his first opportunity to drive a Formula 1 car later this year with Haas. It has not been announced when Haas’ full-time drivers, Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen, will give up their place. Bearman has had a successful rookie season in Formula 2, winning four races and currently sitting seventh overall in the standings. He previously won the Italian F4 Championship and ADAC F4 Championship in 2021, leading to his recruitment by Ferrari. Bearman will join Haas for the Mexico and Abu Dhabi races and is excited to be getting his first chance in Formula 1. He will be accompanying the team at the Qatar Grand Prix this weekend in preparation for his debut in Mexico at the end of the month.
