Ollie Bearman had two points-scoring super-sub stand-ins before the Brazilian Grand Prix brought him crashing back down to earth. Scott Mitchell-Malm assesses his weekend and the lessons learned from it
Ollie Bearman’s 100% point-scoring record in Formula 1 for the 2024 season was indeed remarkable, albeit it came with an asterisk due to only two race appearances. However, this achievement underscored his talent as a super-sub for Ferrari and Haas, albeit the perfect streak ended at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Despite facing challenges in Brazil, filling in for an unwell Kevin Magnussen accelerated Bearman’s F1 learning curve significantly. His valuable experience in Brazil and Azerbaijan will only enhance his performance as a full-time Haas driver next year. While Bearman missed out on the post-season test in Abu Dhabi, the lessons learned in Brazil will undoubtedly shape his growth as a driver.
