Oliver Bearman is gearing up for his first full-time season in F1 with Haas next year.
Oliver Bearman believes his biggest weakness ahead of his full-season debut in F1 is his qualifying pace. The Briton has signed to race with Haas for the 2025 campaign and will compete alongside Esteben Ocon, who joins from Haas. Bearman has already made his grand prix debut, standing in for Carlos Sainz earlier this year at Ferrari – he is continuing to prepare for his first full season with further FP1 outings with Haas this season. As he continues to build experience, the 19-year-old admitted he finds his one-lap pace in F1 machinery is lacking. Bearman mentioned that his qualifying pace has been on the weaker side but he is working on it by taking small steps and is focusing on improving his performance with each session. He emphasized the importance of not taking unnecessary risks during practice sessions in order to make progress in a methodical manner.
