Oliver Bearman shared how he learned that he would be replacing Kevin Magnussen at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, with Haas confirming his substitution for the day.

Bearman recounted being awoken by team principal Ayao Komatsu’s early phone call informing him of his driving duties: “Ayao woke me up in the morning at like 06:30 with his call.” Despite feeling for Magnussen, Bearman expressed his happiness at getting back behind the wheel: “Of course, I give my best to Kevin, but I’m very happy to jump back in the F1 car and it’s always a pleasure.” Bearman performed well in the sprint qualifying and is positioned to start the sprint race from 10th on the grid, although he acknowledged making a small error in Sector 1 during the session.
