Oliver Bearman's Formula 1 debut comes in unexpected circumstances, but the 18-year-old British driver from Chelmsford has already proved himself to be an accomplished performer.
Oliver Bearman is stepping up from his reserve role to replace Carlos Sainz at Ferrari for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
The 18-year-old from Chelmsford will be the youngest British driver to start an F1 race and third youngest debutant behind Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll . Bearman was immediately competitive, but what impressed onlookers just as much was the smooth and mature progress he made. At any one time, there are a number of drivers all trying to make it into F1, but very few have a sense of inevitability about them. Bearman, though, is one.He made his Formula 2 debut last year, and in dominating the weekend at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix became the first driver in the history of the category to top every practice session and win the feature race.
Speaking last year, he was under no illusions about the demands of F1. "Once you join F1, you're going up against guys with a lot of races under their belts, and coming in as a rookie is a difficult job," he said.
