Oliver Bearman News, Rumors & Driver Updates

Mechanical Failure Bearman suffered a mechanical failure and finished 21st in the Dutch Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Zandvoort Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Impact The Haas F1 youngster would struggle with pace all weekend in the Dutch GP events. Bearman would qualify 20th and start the race from pit lane and look to make the best of his poor starting track position. He would get underway at the lights out but a lap 1 crash by Max Verstappen would bring the race under the red flag. Bearman's restart on lap 2 is where everything would come undone. His machine would lose power on the formation lap of the restart and come to a stop between turns 10 and 11. He suffered some kind of catastrophic engine failure and Bearman's day was done after barely getting started.

Spin and Poor Finish Bearman finished 19th in the Hungarian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Hungaroring on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Bearman would start P17 on the grid on medium tyres and execute a two-stop strategy to combat a lack of pace. He would be buried deep in the field most of the grand prix, but Bearman's problems were just beginning. He'd suffer a late-race spin in turn 2 and lose position. Later he'd be handed a 5-second penalty for ignoring blue flags. That would drop Bearman to a disappointing 19th-place finish in the Hungarian Grand Prix.

JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Contact with Ocon Bearman finished 14th in the Belgian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Pre-race grid penalties would put Bearman back in P14 to start the race. That loss of track position would put him in an early battle with teammate, Esteban Ocon. On lap 1 the two would make contact and both cars would suffer tyre punctures. He would run a two-stop strategy after this incident and it would limit Bearman's opportunity to drive through the field. Good pace would be his biggest ally and Bearman would use it for a late-race overtake of Alex Albon to secure P14 at Spa.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

P12 at Silverstone Bearman finished 12th in the British Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Silverstone Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Bearman's hopes for points in the British Grand Prix would be dashed in the opening lap. He would be shunted at Brooklands on lap 1 by the Williams of Alex Albon and spin through the corner. He would spend the rest of the day in recovery drive mode and fighting dirty air in his Haas machine. Bearman would take advantage of the late safety car to switch to soft tyres but wouldn't get to try them out as the race ended under caution and he would be credited with 12th-place at Silverstone.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles with Car Balance Bearman finished 14th in the Austrian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Ocon would get around him on the opening lap and that would drop the Haas F1 youngster to P15. Bearman's extra long opening stint would allow him to recover that lost track position but then he'd yield it on the lap 24 pit stop. He would struggle with car balance and tyre degradation the entire race and settle in behind Pierre Gasly down the stretch. Bearman would nurse the car home to a 14th-place finish in Austria.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Mechanical Failure Bearman suffered a mechanical failure and finished 17th in the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix F1 race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday.

Impact Bearman would start 14th on the grid Sunday in Barcelona and had high hopes of racing up into the points by day's end. However, struggles early with pace would see him fall back through the field. Bearman would execute a two-stop strategy and that would only get him as high as P12 at one point. Late in the race the car would develop a mechanical issue and the young driver would bring it to pit lane for the day on lap 60. Bearman would be credited with a disappointing 17th-place as a result.

JUNE 16 • ROTOWIRE

Front Wing Damage Bearman retired early and finished 20th in the Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 race at The Circuit de Monaco on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Bearman's FP3 crash would deny him some much needed track time and he'd qualify poorly lining up 19th on the starting grid. His race would get off to a poor start as contact on lap 1 would damage his front wing. Bearman's car would get a new wing and hard tyres with an unscheduled pit stop. That would put the Haas F1 youngster back at P21 in the early laps. Once he logged 30 laps and made no apparent headway, the team would order Bearman to pit and retire the car early on lap 30. He'll look to rebound next round out in Barcelona.

JUNE 9 • ROTOWIRE

Snags Points in Canada Bearman finished 10th in the Canadian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Despite Haas bringing an upgrade package into Canada weekend, Bearman struggled to find pace and qualified P16 on the starting grid. He would start on soft tyres which was an aggressive strategy but it would pay off. Bearman would pick up seven spots in the opening laps and ride P9 by lap 3. He would pit under the VSC on lap 30 and hold onto the track position gained. Bearman would chase down Carlos Sainz late and register a strong 10th-place finish and points in Montreal.

MAY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Just Misses Points Bearman finished 11th in the Miami Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Miami International Autodrome on Sunday afternoon.

Impact The day would be one of some mild frustration for Bearman and his Haas F1 team. The young driver started 12th on the grid and had decent pace but not enough to complete overtakes of surrounding competitors. Bearman started on medium tyres and switched to hards at lap 26 for a long stint to the finish. He would be mired in a mid-field DRS train for a good portion of the race and that would limit his ability to both overtake and manage tyre wear. He would slot P11 at the checkered flag, just one spot outside of the points.

MAY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Heavy Crash in Japanese GP Bearman crashed and finished 22nd in the Japanese Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Suzuka Circuit on Sunday.

Impact A poor qualifying effort would put Bearman back in the field to start the race. He would be making progress in the early laps moving up to P14 in the laps prior to his pit stop. Bearman would rejoin and enter into a battle with Franco Colapinto for position. The young Alpine driver would brake in the Spoon curve to harvest energy and that would cause an unexpected high-speed closing rate for Bearman. He would have to dodge the Alpine and lose control, crashing hard into the barriers. The 50G impact would be a scary moment for the Haas driver but fortunately, he'd walk away with just a right knee contusion. He'll look to rebound next round out in Miami.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Big Mover in Melbourne Bearman finished seventh in the Australian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Albert Park Circuit on Sunday.

Impact The Haas youngster would start 12th on the grid and be an immediate mover through the order. Bearman would climb to P10 by lap 6 and continue to claw his way forward. A one-stop strategy would see him pit for hard tyres on lap 18. He would run the rest of the way on those. A late battle with Arvid Lindblad would highlight his race and Bearman would hang on for a strong P7 effort in Melbourne.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

5-Second Penalty Bearman finished 12th in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday evening.

Impact A decent qualifying effort would put Bearman 11th on the starting grid. The Haas F1 youngster would lose a spot early on to a very fast Liam Lawson. Bearman would execute a one-stop strategy which would help him promote up to P8. However, a scrap between he and Lawson would draw a 5-second penalty from the stewards for erratic driving. Bearman would cross the finish line P9 but drop to P12 after the penalty was applied. He concludes a successful rookie campaign with Haas and will look forward to a bigger and better 2026 season.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Points Streak Halted Bearman finished 19th the Qatar Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Lusail International Circuit on Sunday.

Impact A P13 starting spot would go to waste for the young Haas F1 driver Sunday on the Lusail Circuit. Bearman would have a botched pit stop at lap 32 and then he'd subsequently be hit with a 10-second penalty for an unsafe release. Those setbacks mired him deep in the field. Bearman would be so far out of the running that the team would decide to park him on lap 41 after serving his 10-second penalty. The poor finish would stop his points streak at five races. Bearman will hope to rebound in the season finale next week at Abu Dhabi.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Points Streak to Five Bearman finished 10th in the Las Vegas Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit on Saturday night.

Impact A subpar qualifying effort would put the Haas youngster 14th on the starting grid. However, Bearman would make up for it as soon as the lights went out. Mayhem in the mid-field on the opening lap would see him leap to P7 almost immediately. Charles Leclerc would claw one of those spots back a few laps later, but Bearman would pit out of P8 on lap 17. The second half of the grand prix would see him have great battles with Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon. He would slide into a P12 finish but promote two spots to 10th-place with the double McLaren DQ. The effort extended his current points streak to five races.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

P6 at Interlagos Bearman finished sixth in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Interlagos Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Impact A great qualifying effort would put the Haas youngster eighth on the starting grid. Equally impressive would be the team's race strategy. An undercut opening pit stop on lap 17 would set the tone for the rest of the day for Bearman. It would allow him to win mid-pack battles with Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar and Nico Hulkenberg to settle into P6 down the stretch. Bearman would settle into a comfortable gap between Lawson and Oscar Piastri to nicely collect sixth-place and 8 points in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Career-Best Finish Bearman finished fourth in the Mexico City Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Sunday afternoon.

Impact It started with a strong qualifying effort. Bearman made it through to Q3 on Saturday and wound up with a solid ninth-place starting spot on the grid. He would start the race on soft compound tyres and use them to move up to P4 by lap 6. That initial lunge forward would pay huge dividends and Bearman would hang onto that track position after his lap 24 pit stop. Another stop at lap 48 would be afforded by a nice gap back to the Mercedes of George Russell. Down the stretch he'd hold off a hard-charging Oscar Piastri to claim a career-best P4 in Mexico.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Points Drive in Austin Bearman finished ninth in the United States Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Circuit of the Americas on Sunday afternoon.

Impact A sound qualifying effort would put Bearman eighth on the starting grid and in good position to grab points in Austin. The young Haas F1 driver would lose a spot in the early laps to Carlos Sainz but would settle in and battle in the mid-field. Bearman would make contact with Yuki Tsunoda later in the race in a heated battle and spin, briefly bringing out the caution flags. However, he would get back underway and recover nicely for a ninth-place finish and 2 points in Austin.

OCTOBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Claims Points in Singapore Bearman finished ninth in the Singapore Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Marina Bay Circuit on Sunday.

Impact A good qualifying effort would line up Bearman ninth on the starting grid and he'd use that good track position to his full advantage. The Haas F1 youngster would start the race on medium tyres and pit for fresh rubber on lap 23. Bearman and Isack Hadjar would be noted for a collision at one point, but no penalty was forthcoming from the stewards so they would race on. Bearman was able to promote one spot late in the grand prix on a Carlos Sainz pit stop and he would finish a strong P9 with 2 points to his credit.

OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Climbs Order in Azerbaijan GP Bearman finished 12th in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Baku City Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Bearman wasn't the big mover of the day in Azerbaijan but he'd make a good move up from his P15 starting spot. The Haas F1 youngster would initially lose a couple spots in the opening laps but would use a lap 28 pit stop to undercut some of the longer opening stint drivers. Bearman would rejoin P18 but enjoy some promotions due to those pending pit stops by others. He would claw past Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso down the stretch and earn a respectable 12th-place finish in the Azerbaijan GP.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

10-Second Time Penalty Bearman finished 12th in the Italian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Monza Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Bearman would start 11th on the grid and he'd be among the early takers for pit road on lap 18. That undercut would trigger a number of following pit stops by other drivers. The Haas youngster would have a run-in with Carlos Sainz in the chicane while battling for position. The stewards would later find Bearman guilty of causing a collision and slap the young driver with a 10-second time penalty. That would undo any chances he had of claiming points at Monza and the best he could manage was P12 by the checkered flag.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Big Mover in Dutch GP Bearman finished sixth in the Dutch Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Circuit Zandvoort on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Bearman would start from pit lane after some post-qualifying power unit changes. The young driver would have his work cut out for him. Bearman and his Haas teammate would turn the grand prix into a one-stop affair and run hard tyres until his lap 53 pit stop under the safety car. That would allow him to hang onto all that track position gained and rejoin P11 after his stop. Bearman would then overtake Pierre Gasly and keep Lance Stroll in his rearview mirror to earn a very impressive P6 at Zandvoort.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Early Retirement at Hungaroring Bearman retired early and finished 20th in the Hungarian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Hungaroring circuit on Sunday.

Impact Any hopes for points would soon disappear for Bearman in Hungary. An early-race battle in the midfield would apparently deal some damage to his Haas machine. Bearman would run a long opening stint but in the second half of the grand prix he would radio in on lap 45 that his car was "broken" and the young driver was struggling for grip. The team would decide to retire him early on lap 48 and save the car. Bearman would be the only retirement of the race and finish a disappointing P20.

AUGUST 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Near Points at Spa Bearman finished 11th in the Belgian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Impact The young Haas F1 driver would line up 12th on the starting grid after a reasonably good qualifying effort. Bearman would take the green flag and hold down P12 all the way to his lap 12 pit stop. He pitted with a majority of the field which meant he slipped to 13th-place after pit exit. Bearman would overtake the Red Bull of Yuki Tsunoda on lap 43 and that clutch pass would give him P11 at the finish. It was a solid performance for the young driver and another near-miss with points for Haas.

JULY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Near Points in Great Britain Bearman finished 11th in the British Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Silverstone Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Despite the handicap of a 10-place grid penalty prior to the start of the British Grand Prix, Bearman would race to his third-consecutive 11th-place finish Sunday at Silverstone. Starting P18 on the grid he'd use sound pit strategy and patience racing in tough conditions Sunday in the rain. With some retirements and overtakes Bearman would race up to P10 by his second pit stop of the day. He'd largely hang onto that track position and get around Carlos Sainz for a respectable P11 finish.

JULY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

10-Place Grid Penalty Bearman has been handed a 10-place grid penalty for the British Grand Prix following a red flag infringement during the weekend's third and final practice hour, Formula1.com report...

Impact Gabriel Bortoleto spun off course and became stuck in the gravel, bringing out the red flag. Bearman would head for pit road and have a spin of his own and hit the barriers. The stewards would review the incident after the session and determine a rules infraction for the Haas F1 youngster. They would assess a 10-place grid penalty against Bearman, which will nullify any potential good qualifying effort for the British GP.
