Oliver Bearman Speaks Out on Joining Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari

Haas driver Oliver Bearman has confirmed his ultimate career ambition is to secure a full-time seat with Ferrari.



The 20-year-old rookie made headlines last season when he substituted for Carlos Sainz at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, impressing many with a strong debut performance.



He also filled in at Baku and Brazil for Haas before being rewarded with a full-time race seat for 2025.



Having been part of Ferrari’s driver academy for years, Bearman admits his loyalties and aspirations remain with the Italian team.



“Of course that’s my goal in life,” Bearman told reporters.



“I got a taste of doing that when I got the call up last year and that is my motivation in life, to hopefully one day be able to do that.”



Haas remains his focus



Despite his long-term target, Bearman emphasized that his attention remains firmly on delivering results for Haas.



He downplayed any immediate talks with Ferrari.



“I’m focused on my thing over here, and [there’s] not really much communication between myself and Ferrari,” he said.



“My job is to show what I’m capable of, and leave teams in general without a choice. That’s my job, to do the best possible. And that’s a long way away. It doesn’t happen overnight.”



The British driver made it clear he is not setting a timeline for when he might achieve his Ferrari dream.



“No time frame, nothing like that,” he added.



Room to grow



Bearman is also realistic about his development curve.



“I’m just focusing on what I’m doing, trying to improve myself because I still see a lot of room to grow within this team and also to make the most out of myself on a more consistent basis,” he explained.



He believes Haas provides an environment where he can build his skills and prove himself capable of competing at the highest level.



“I can still see a big trajectory within myself, which is a good feeling, and means the more I focus on myself, the better everything’s going to be,” Bearman said.



Ferrari dream remains alive



For now, Bearman’s path runs through Haas, but his connection with Ferrari continues to fuel his ambitions.



His standout performance in Jeddah has already shown he has the potential to handle the pressure of racing for a top team.



With no set timeline, his strategy is simple — deliver consistent results and leave decision-makers little choice in the future.



For both Haas and Ferrari fans, Bearman represents one of the most exciting young talents on the grid, with the possibility of wearing red full-time one day looking increasingly realistic.
