With Carlos Sainz ruled out by appendicitis, 18-year-old British youngster Oliver Bearman is getting the chance of a lifetime to make his Formula 1 debut for Ferrari in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Bearman's even younger Prema team-mate Andrea Kimi Antonelli has been all the rage recently as Mercedes ponders its driver options for 2025, but Bearman is equally seen as a superstar of the future. Following success in karting and Formula 4, the Chelmsford native was invited to the Ferrari Driver Academy Scouting World Finals in 2021, where he impressed Ferrari enough to earn a spot in its academy.
' More outings followed at Abu Dhabi, both in first practice and in the young driver test, and earlier this year he sampled the 2022 car at a private test in Barcelona. Off the track the Brit also impressed the media with his considered answers and level-headed nature, while not holding back on voicing his ambition either. 'I know I'd be ready to go, I know I have what it takes,' Bearman told the media after his Abu Dhabi FP1 session.
