This F1 driver believes it's 'only a matter of time' before Antonelli wins a race

Bearman and Antonelli are close friends and former teammates. The two both raced for Prema in Formula 2.

Speaking to GPBlog and others in Miami, Bearman said, "We pushed each other forward and had a tough season together, but what was clear was his speed."

While Antonelli has not yet graced the podium like his teammate, George Russell, he has come close.

Bearman is also classified as a rookie alongside Antonelli. However, Bearman was able to complete three F1 races last year.

He continued, "Listening to all of the debriefs and all of the comments from the drivers, how they articulate what they're feeling has been quite useful for me, and even being a bit behind the scenes on set up meetings."
