Team / PREMA Racing
Oliver Bearman made the step up to FIA Formula 2 in 2023 after a strong first – and only – season in FIA Formula 3 with PREMA Racing where he wound up third in the championship after scoring eight podiums which included a victory at the Belgium Sprint race.
Prior to that, Bearman won multiple karting titles before contesting two seasons in both the ADAC F4 and the Italian F4 Championships, winning the title at the second time of asking in both categories.
The Ferrari junior enjoyed a stellar first campaign with PREMA in F2 last year, winning four races, including in Azerbaijan, where he qualified on pole, and won both the Sprint and Feature race. He is set to continue with PREMA for his second season of F2 in 2024.
Ahead of the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Bearman was announced as a late replacement for Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, becoming the youngest driver in the team's history. The Briton just missed out on a top 10 in Qualifying, but rebounded to finish seventh on his Formula 1 debut.
Prior to the 2024 British Grand Prix, Bearman was confirmed by Haas F1 Team for 2025, signing a multi-year deal to join the team.
