Oliver Bearman admits he is unsure “what else I can do” to earn a full-time seat on the 2025 Formula
“Bearman was called upon to step in for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari due to appendicitis, and despite starting outside the top 10, he managed to finish in seventh place ahead of Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. He was instructed by Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur to avoid being overly aggressive, and Bearman was pleased with his mistake-free performance. He had to adjust his strategy during the race, facing challenges with managing his battery usage but learning quickly on the job. Despite the physical demands of the high-speed Jeddah Circuit, Bearman persevered and received support from Lewis Hamilton after the race. Bearman’s impressive debut with Ferrari has left uncertainty about whether he will deputise for Sainz again in Australia. Ultimately, he remains unsure about his future opportunities with the team, highlighting Carlos Sainz’s recovery as the priority.”
