OLIVER
BEARMAN
car 87
British rookie who arrived at Haas via a stand-in Ferrari weekend in Jeddah 2024. Calm, clean and consistently quick.
The teenager who beat the veterans.
Oliver Bearman was getting ready for a junior race when Ferrari called and told him to race in F1. He has not looked back.
Bearman is a young British driver in the Ferrari academy. In 2024 he got a shock late call to stand in for an ill Carlos Sainz at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with almost no warning. On one of the toughest tracks on the calendar, the teenager finished seventh on his debut. The paddock took notice at once.
Haas signed him for a full 2025 season. He did something rare for a rookie: he out-qualified and out-scored his experienced teammate Esteban Ocon, the only first-year driver to beat his teammate that season. He stays at Haas for 2026, now seen as one of the brightest young talents on the grid. He had already stood in for Haas late in 2024, so the team knew he could deliver under pressure.
Bearman is calm beyond his years and clearly going places. Backing him now is like getting in early on a future front-runner.
Bearman's 2025 form makes to-beat-teammate-Ocon a genuine market to track, not a novelty. In a midfield Haas, his value is in points props on the right weekend. Avoid podium bets unless the car takes a big step, but watch his qualifying pace closely.
