Oliver Bearman, the reserve driver for Ferrari, expressed uncertainty about how he can further prove his worth for a permanent spot in the Formula 1 team for 2025, after his impressive performance in Saudi Arabia. Bearman was called in to replace Carlos Sainz during the final practice due to Sainz’s appendicitis. While Bearman did not secure a top ten starting position, he showed a strong performance in the race, overtaking both Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton to finish in seventh place. Bearman shared that Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur advised him not to take unnecessary risks, and he was pleased to complete the race without making mistakes.
During the early laps, Bearman found himself behind Yuki Tsunoda, but managed to surprise the Red Bull driver with a bold move at Turn 1 after the restart. Later, Bearman faced Nico Hulkenberg and acknowledged that Hulkenberg strategically used the energy from his battery, something Bearman was not accustomed to. It took a few laps for Bearman to figure out the optimal use of energy, but he remained disciplined and avoided pushing too hard.
The race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, with 50 laps and a distance of 3.836 miles, is known for its challenging nature, representing a significant challenge for drivers on the F1 calendar. Bearman, recognizing the physical demands of the race, revealed that Lewis Hamilton helped him out of the car in parc fermé during the final stages. He explained that the low track degradation and high lateral G-forces made it similar to completing 50 qualifying laps, which is truly remarkable.
Bearman, who became the youngest Ferrari driver to participate in a grand prix, achieved the best result for a rookie in F1 since Felipe Nasr’s performance nine years ago. After concluding the meeting with his Ferrari team, Bearman expressed his intention to enjoy a satisfying dinner and a well-deserved dessert to celebrate his achievement.
While Carlos Sainz, who underwent surgery, was present to support Ferrari in the paddock, Bearman remains uncertain about the possibility of replacing him again in Australia. When asked if he expected to have another opportunity to race in Melbourne in two weeks, Bearman honestly admitted that he was not sure. He expressed his happiness for Sainz’s recovery, acknowledging that the car and the championship ultimately belong to Sainz, and he wishes him the best.
In terms of securing a permanent place on the F1 roster, Bearman expressed uncertainty about his future, stating that he does not believe he will remain in F1 for the rest of the year. He considered his goal for the weekend to be a great performance, which he believes he achieved to a satisfactory degree. Looking to the future, he plans to focus on excelling in F2 and hoping for future opportunities.
In addition to his role at Ferrari, Bearman also serves as a reserve driver for the Haas team. He will participate in six free practice sessions during the season, driving the VF-24 car. Bearman expressed enthusiasm in building a relationship with Haas and gaining more experience behind the wheel. He hopes that this opportunity will open more doors for him.
Bearman também revelou que tem mais testes planejados com a Ferrari, potencialmente incluindo a chance de experimentar o carro vencedor de corridas de 2022 da equipe, o F1-75 com efeito solo. Ele enfatizou o valor das milhas que já acumulou no carro da Ferrari, o que ajudará na correlação com o simulador e contribuirá para sua capacidade de auxiliar a equipe em testes futuros com carros anteriores.
