Bearman declines to guarantee Haas stay for 2027 season

Ferrari have effectively locked in their driver line-up for next season following Charles Leclerc's recent multi-year contract extension, leaving the young Brit with little chance of finding a seat at the Maranello-based team in 2027.

Asked by GPblog in Monaco whether he was disappointed not to have secured a move to a more competitive team like Antonelli, Bearman insisted he remains fully confident in his abilities and believes seeing drivers from his own generation, such as Antonelli and Hadjar, succeed at the front only reinforces that belief, having raced against both throughout the junior categories.

The Brit stressed that he feels no frustration about his current position, describing it simply as part of his journey, while also making clear that he is enjoying his time at Haas and would view staying with the team beyond 2026 as a positive opportunity given the direction in which the outfit is heading.

When asked by GPblog whether he would definitely still be at Haas next season, the Brit kept his cards close to his chest, simply replying: "I don't know."

Asked how he deals with the expectations and attention that come with being one of most highly rated young talents, Bearman admitted it is not something he particularly enjoys, explaining that he prefers to focus on driving and doing his job. The Briton pointed to his unexpected Ferrari debut as a valuable learning experience, as the spotlight was entirely on him, helping him become more comfortable handling pressure and scrutiny.
