Ollie Bearman is set to participate in FP1 sessions for Ferrari and Haas later this season after impressing in his debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. He stepped in for Carlos Sainz, who was ill with appendicitis, and finished 7th after starting from 11th. Ferrari’s team principal, Fred Vasseur, sees Bearman’s performance as a positive step towards a future full-time drive and plans for him to do FP1 sessions for Ferrari and Haas in addition to his current schedule. Bearman’s strong showing without prior practice in Jeddah has left a lasting impression, showing potential for his future in F1. Vasseur believes that Bearman’s success in Jeddah is just the beginning, with upcoming challenges in F2 and more FP1 appearances to come. Despite the planned FP1 appearances, Bearman’s outstanding performance in Jeddah has given Vasseur the confidence to continue pushing the young driver to excel in future races.
