Ollie Bearman makes Ferrari F1 history in Saudi Arabia debut

Oliver Bearman made history as the youngest driver to race for Ferrari during the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after being called up to replace Carlos Sainz, who withdrew due to appendicitis. At 18 years and 306 days old, Bearman finished the race in seventh position, scoring six points despite having less than three hours of F1 experience. His performance impressed Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur, who noted Bearman's ability to handle the pressure of starting without prior practice sessions. Following this debut, he signed a full contract with Haas for the 2025 season. Bearman's journey highlights the challenges of motorsport and his knack for turning opportunities into milestones.
