Oliver Bearman has to “keep reminding Ferrari” of his presence to ensure a likelihood that he will be first in the queue for a Formula 1 drive with the Scuderia when a seat next becomes available, according to former driver Karun Chandhok.
Former driver Karun Chandhok believes Oliver Bearman needs to consistently remind Ferrari of his talent to secure a Formula 1 drive with the team in the future, especially when a seat becomes available. Bearman stood in for Carlos Sainz at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and impressed, leading to a full-time seat at Haas last year. The 20-year-old, a part of the Ferrari academy for four years, is seen as a potential successor to Lewis Hamilton. Chandhok praises Bearman’s performance with Haas and sees him as a strong contender for a Ferrari seat. Bearman’s objective is to keep Ferrari aware of his capabilities for when an opportunity arises, and his determination and performance are positioning him well for that chance.
