Oliver Bearman has secured a permanent Formula 1 seat for 2025. The young British racing star has been officially announced by Haas as part of the line-up for the 2025 F1 season. A multi-year deal has been signed. Bearman will feature in FP1 at Silverstone as part of the rookie practice sessions. He will also do this in Hungary, Mexico and Abu Dhabi.
Bearman officially confirmed by Haas for the 2025 F1 season
Bearman, currently active in Formula 2, has suffered setbacks in his current racing class. Consequently, it is his one-off appearance for Ferrari that allowed the driver to impress the most. At the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, he made his GP debut completely unexpectedly by filling in for an injured Carlos Sainz. In his first race, he immediately scored good points.
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Bearman was announced as a regular driver at Haas. Nico Hulkenberg will leave next year for Sauber, where he will work on Audi's 2026 F1 project. Whether Kevin Magnussen will stay at Haas and get Bearman as a teammate is not yet clear.
