Oliver Bearman spoke ahead of the new season, the Englishman has already raced in two Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Oliver Bearman is about to begin his first (full) season in F1. After racing in two Grand Prix last season, with Haas and Ferrari, the English driver is ready to debut in Australia with a different level of experience compared to many rookies who will take part in the 2025 F1 season.
These are Bearman’s words ahead of the new season: “I was the first to be announced. For a few months, I was the only rookie on the grid, and it was a bit of a daunting idea. Knowing that there are other debutants is reassuring. Facing a new season and a new challenge alongside other drivers in the same situation feels positive.”
The Ferrari junior driver then added: “I raced with Jack in Formula 2 in 2023, so I know them all. With Kimi, Gabriel, and Isack, I raced last year, and we have a good relationship. In particular, with Kimi, as we were teammates for a year. I’ve also been friends with Gabriel for a long time, and we’ve raced together for years.”
And finally: “I’m excited to share the track with them. Jack also had his first F1 race with Alpine in Abu Dhabi, so everything is falling into place, and it’s really exciting.”
