Oliver Bearman

The British driver enters his second full season with Haas after a promising rookie campaign. Bearman first caught wider attention as a substitute, deputising at short notice for Carlos Sainz at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with Ferrari and scoring points on debut, before adding two further substitute appearances with Haas later that year.

A full-time Haas seat for 2025 followed, and Bearman delivered enough late-season results to justify continued investment. Still tied to Ferrari as part of their junior programme, he is increasingly mentioned as a potential long-term Hamilton successor at the Scuderia — making strong 2026 results all the more important.
