Oliver Bearman Biography

Oliver Bearman (born 8 May 2005 in Chelmsford, Essex) is a British racing driver and a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy.
Bearman built his reputation in single-seaters with a rapid climb through the junior ranks. In 2021, he won both the Italian F4 Championship and the ADAC Formula 4 Championship in the same season. He stepped up to FIA Formula 3 in 2022 and finished third overall, taking race wins along the way. He then progressed to FIA Formula 2, continuing his development on the traditional Formula 1 feeder ladder.
His first Formula 1 race start came at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, where he substituted for Ferrari. On his F1 debut he finished seventh, scoring points immediately. That drive also made him Ferrari’s youngest-ever Formula 1 race starter.
Ahead of the 2025 season, it was confirmed that Bearman had signed to race in Formula 1 with Haas, moving from reserve/stand-in opportunities into a full-time seat.
On track, Bearman has been closely associated with Ferrari through his academy status, while his results in F4, F3 and F2 established him as one of the standout graduates of the modern junior pathway before his step up to a regular F1 drive.
