The 18-year-old finished a strong seventh on his F1 debut in Saudi Arabia after a smart drive.
Oliver Bearman, the rising star of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, recently drove a Ferrari Formula 1 car at Fiorano. Despite being only 18 years old, he impressively filled in for Carlos Sainz in Jeddah due to Sainz’s appendicitis. Bearman qualified 11th and finished seventh in the race, outperforming both Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. His debut finish was the highest for a driver scoring points since Felipe Nasr’s fifth place in the 2015 Australian Grand Prix. Bearman, a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, continues to stay race-fit by testing the 2022 F1-75 car at Fiorano while Sainz recuperates. The video showcasing Bearman’s talents is a must-watch for all racing enthusiasts.
