Haas Will Add Oliver Bearman To Team As 2025 Driver
Haas announced the addition of British teenager Oliver Bearman as a driver for their Formula One team in the 2025 season.
The 19-year-old Brit made his Formula 1 debut this year, subbing in for Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, Jr. when Sainz, Jr. had an emergency appendectomy and ultimately finished seventh in Sainz, Jr.’s seat at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
It is unclear which current Haas driver Bearman will replace in 2025 – Kevin Magnussen or Nico Hulkenberg – but Hulkenberg is slated to move to Audi’s Sauber team in 2025.
Although Bearman won the 2024 Formula 2 race in Austria last weekend, he is currently wallowing in 14th place in the F2 standings with only 28 points behind Mercedes-linked F2 leader’s Paul Aron with 117 points.
