38Biography of F1 driver Bearman Oliver
Website: www.olliebearman.com
Oliver Bearman was born on 8 May 2005 in Chelmsford, Essex (United Kingdom). Raised in a family deeply connected to motorsport, he began racing in karting at a very young age, quickly standing out at national and international level thanks to consistent results and remarkable driving maturity.
After a high-profile karting career, Bearman debuted in single-seaters in 2020 in ADAC Formula 4 and Italian Formula 4 with US Racing, achieving wins and podiums that placed him among the absolute protagonists of the season. In 2021 he moved to Italian Formula 4 with Van Amersfoort Racing, securing the title well in advance thanks to a season characterised by consistency and control in key phases of race weekends.
In 2022 he made the step up to FIA Formula 3 with Prema Racing. In his first season in the category he achieved one victory and several points finishes, closing the championship in top positions and confirming his adaptability. 2023 marked the move to Formula 2, again with Prema: Bearman achieved multiple successes and established himself as one of the category’s references, demonstrating one-lap speed and race management solidity.
Alongside his junior formula path, he joined the Ferrari Driver Academy, becoming one of the most closely followed prospects of the Maranello programme. In 2024 came his official Formula 1 debut, called up to replace Carlos Sainz at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with Ferrari: on debut he finished seventh, scoring points immediately and delivering one of the best debuts of recent years, a performance defined by composure and effectiveness.
In the same season he also took part in several official sessions with Haas, strengthening his role within the Ferrari project. 2025 marked his stable entry into Formula 1 as a Haas race driver, in a technical context that allowed him to accumulate experience and mileage in the top category, with the aim of gradual and structured growth.
Among the curiosities, Bearman is known for meticulous off-track preparation and an analytical approach to working with engineers, characteristics that have made him one of the most appreciated young drivers in the paddock. He is also one of the youngest British drivers ever to score points on his Formula 1 debut, an early record that certifies his potential.
Off track he maintains a reserved profile, dividing his time between the United Kingdom and Italy to closely follow Ferrari programmes. In 2026 Oliver Bearman will contest the Formula 1 season with Haas, continuing his growth path within the Ferrari orbit.
His number is 38, last used at Monaco in 1962 by Lorenzo Bandini.
