Oliver Bearman dismisses rumours he could take Lewis Hamilton’s F1 seat at Ferrari
Oliver Bearman has downplayed speculation about potentially replacing Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari in the near future, following his impressive fourth-place finish in the Mexico City Grand Prix for Haas.
Despite voices like Martin Brundle and Jacques Villeneuve advocating for Bearman to join Ferrari, the young British driver remains focused on his performance and results rather than the media hype.
James Hinchcliffe sees Bearman as the natural successor to Hamilton at Ferrari, but Bearman himself attributes his recent success to a combination of luck and good team performance.
Bearman emphasizes the need for realism, acknowledging that his standout performance in Mexico was somewhat fortuitous, but he aims to continue delivering good results and points for his team in the upcoming races.
Currently sitting 13th in the drivers’ standings with 32 points, Bearman has already made an impression in F1, with his teammate Esteban Ocon praising him as the sport’s most promising talent.
