The Future of Ferrari: Is Oliver Bearman Set to Replace Lewis Hamilton in 2027?

In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples through the Formula 1 community, former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has boldly declared that Oliver Bearman is the “obvious candidate” to step into the shoes of the legendary Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari in 2027. The stakes couldn’t be higher as the F1 landscape prepares for monumental shifts in the coming years.

Bearman, who recently wrapped up his rookie season with a respectable 13th place in the standings and a total of 41 points, has already begun to attract attention. Impressively, he outperformed his more seasoned Haas teammate, Esteban Ocon, by three points. However, it hasn’t been a smooth ride for the young driver. His journey has been marred by mistakes and penalty points, but Steiner believes these hurdles have only made him stronger.

Reflecting on Bearman’s tumultuous season, Steiner noted a remarkable transformation. “I mean this year starting off being fast but making mistakes, but second half of the season he got rid of them, and it’s just like a switch,” Steiner shared during a revealing appearance on The Red Flags Podcast. It’s clear that Bearman has undergone a significant evolution as a driver, adapting his approach and honing his skills.

In the early part of the season, Bearman’s aggressive driving style sometimes led to costly errors, with Steiner observing that he was “taking too much risk with the car he had.” These risky maneuvers resulted in several mishaps and a concerning number of penalty points. However, the latter half of the season saw a dramatic shift; Bearman’s mistakes diminished, yet his competitive edge remained intact. “He still kept on collecting them in the second half of the season, but he didn’t make mistakes anymore, even in the race, fighting hard,” Steiner emphasized.

Bearman’s crowning achievement this season was a stellar fourth-place finish in Mexico, a result that highlighted his burgeoning confidence and refined control behind the wheel. At just 20 years old, he has already become a name to watch, with whispers of a potential future seat at Ferrari growing louder.

With Hamilton’s future at Ferrari hanging in the balance—especially if he fails to secure the championship success he is known for—Steiner firmly believes that the door should be wide open for Bearman come 2027. “We all know that he can overtake and as you said, I think for him the door should be open to Ferrari for ’27, because if Lewis hasn’t got the success he needs to have, I don’t think that he continues and then there is the obvious candidate there for Ferrari,” Steiner asserted.

As the F1 world eagerly anticipates the next chapter in this unfolding saga, one thing is certain: Oliver Bearman is a name that will be at the forefront of discussions, and Ferrari may soon find itself at the center of a thrilling new chapter in its storied history. Will Bearman rise to the occasion and take the iconic number 1 plate? The countdown to 2027 starts now!
