Ferrari adds Bearman to F1 reserve roster for 2024
Ferrari has expanded its reserve role options for the F1 season, as Giovinazzi and Shwartzman will also be involved in the marque’s World Endurance Championship Hypercar program. Bearman will be available at F1 weekends that don’t clash with his F2 racing program, and he may also travel to non-clashing events with the team. The 18-year-old Bearman impressed Ferrari during testing last year, leading to his addition to the reserve roster and potential future FP1 sessions. Arthur Leclerc, despite leaving the Ferrari Driver Academy, will become a Maranello development driver, focusing on simulator work and car development. Ferrari’s 2024 track program will begin with a three-day Pirelli tyre test in Barcelona, featuring Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, and the 2022 and 2024 car models.
