Dec.10 (GMM) As speculation swirls around Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari future, Oliver Bearman has made clear that he remains fixed on the long-term dream that has powered him since childhood.
Asked whether former F2 rival and fellow 2025 Formula 1 rookie Isack Hadjar’s promotion to Red Bull Racing surprises him, Bearman replied:
“I’m very happy for him.
“He’s shown he’s very talented, and it’s fantastic that our generation is conquering the top teams, like Kimi Antonelli with Mercedes. I have to say I’m also a little jealous that they can fight up there, but my time will come too.”
Bearman, 20, was another standout rookie of 2025 with Ferrari-powered Haas, and endorsed by Sky Deutschland pundit Ralf Schumacher as the ideal replacement for the struggling Hamilton.
When pressed on when his own promotion to the ‘big team’ might arrive, the Briton didn’t hesitate: “This is my dream, it’s what drives me to give my all and gives me energy every morning.
“I want to race in red, I want to win in red – it’s my life’s goal.”
Bearman says the one-off Ferrari debut he made in Jeddah 2024 only intensified that ambition: “I was lucky to have had a taste of it,” he said, “and now that I know what it feels like, I’m even more motivated.”
But the 2026 rules reset, he insists, will be about proving himself at Haas – not angling for promotion: “I want 2026 to be a solid year, especially for my team. As for the rest, I have no control.
“I do feel ready for whatever the future holds. And next year, with more experience, I want to show it even more. To everyone.”
Reflecting on his first full F1 campaign, Bearman said the biggest shock wasn’t the speed, but the lifestyle: “A year as a full-time driver is completely different. You have to learn to manage your energy.”
And while he impressed in 2025, he admits he also made “stupid” mistakes. “But everything helped me learn.
“Like Australia. It was a terrible start – not what you want as a rookie. Then Silverstone – my home race – another stupid mistake. But from then on I think I improved a lot. I learned a lesson.”
The Monaco Grand Prix, often called the crown jewel of Formula 1, is one of the most prestigious races in the world and part of the Triple Crown of Motorsport alongside the Indy 500 and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
