Ferrari’s future is already here: it’s time to believe in Oliver Bearman. Oliver Bearman continues to impress in Formula 1.

Oliver Bearman is enjoying a remarkable run of form in the final part of the championship, consistently finishing in the top ten and often outperforming his teammate, Esteban Ocon.

We once described Oliver Bearman as the “quiet leader you don’t expect.” The young British driver from Ferrari’s academy is proving that description true, showing both natural speed and impressive maturity. In recent Grands Prix, his performances have surprised even his garage mate Ocon. And, with all due respect to the team in Banbury, this Haas cannot be compared to the kind of car fielded by other rookies such as Kimi Antonelli, who now handles a Mercedes capable of fighting at the front.

Credit must go to Ollie Bearman — and also to other promising young drivers like Gabriel Bortoleto and Isack Hadjar — for extracting the maximum out of machinery that, while interesting and competitive in parts, still shows clear limitations on several circuits. The ups and downs in results are not necessarily a negative sign, but rather a reflection of the tight battle among midfield cars all fighting for points and a place in the sun among the top ten.

Haas – a positive season with a promising finish

Since the summer break, some teams have struggled to maintain their early-season form — just like McLaren did before Lando Norris’s return to victory at the Mexican Grand Prix. Others, such as Haas, have found new confidence and performance. And then there’s Red Bull — or rather, Max Verstappen’s Red Bull — which is once again in the running for the world championship title after it seemed, for a while, destined for the papaya-clad British team.

As for Mercedes and Ferrari, there’s little to add: one weekend the Silver Arrows are ahead, the next the Scuderia from Maranello takes the upper hand. And unless something dramatic changes, this pattern should continue until the end of the season.

Analyzing Haas’s last six races

The numbers clearly highlight Ollie Bearman’s advantage over Ocon. The 20-year-old Briton has finished ahead of his French teammate in each of the last six races. These results have helped Bearman climb to 13th place in the Drivers’ Championship with 32 points, while Ocon sits in 16th, just two points behind.

In the Constructors’ standings, Haas currently holds eighth position and remains in the fight for sixth, a spot now occupied by Aston Martin. With four rounds remaining in the season, the team from Banbury has collected 62 points.

Oliver Bearman – the future depends on the present

When it comes to Ferrari, it’s impossible not to mention the team’s current situation — a cake served in two halves, with only one side currently holding together. That side is Charles Leclerc’s: with determination, passion, and consistency, the Monegasque driver has seized control of Ferrari’s immediate future, regardless of market rumors. And Lewis Hamilton? Unfortunately, he has looked like a fleeting presence so far, delivering disappointing and inconsistent results compared to his teammate. But where does Ollie Bearman fit into all this?

Ferrari has always believed in the young Briton, as shown by the bond that has linked him to the Prancing Horse since 2021, when he joined the Ferrari Driver Academy at just sixteen years old. His goal was clear from the start: to develop his skills and one day earn a place in the Scuderia’s Formula 1 team.

That dream began to take shape in 2024, when he made his official F1 debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, stepping in for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari. Now, as part of Haas’s lineup with the VF-25, Bearman continues to prove his worth, showing both confidence and potential that could soon earn him a full-time role in Maranello’s future plans.

This season has also seen a noticeable drop in the average age of the F1 grid. While experienced drivers remain valuable for car development and leadership, there comes a point when teams must also trust their young talents. And when one of them — like Bearman — drives for Haas but carries Ferrari’s DNA in his racing suit, the message is clear: the future might already be waiting inside the Scuderia’s own family.
