There is a lot of negativity to be found in the first season of Lewis Hamilton At Ferrari, Oliver Bearman is a rather good student. Haas, where he impressed for a rookie. A member of the Ferrari Driver Academy for many years, rumors have therefore begun to circulate regarding a potential transfer of the Briton to the Team, replacing his compatriot, a seven-time world champion.
Before the Qatar Grand Prix, the penultimate round of the 2025 season Formula 1The drivers invited to the press conference took part in the exercise of reflecting on their season. For Bearman, the question was explored in more depth. Would he feel ready to make the leap to the next level?
To this question, Oliver Bearman gave a nuanced answer, although he did say he was indeed open to receiving a call from Frederic Vasseur for a seat at the Reds.
“I’m in F1 and I have to believe in myself,” Oliver Bearman told Losail. So yes, I think I'm ready. But I have to keep proving it. Just because I've had five or six good races doesn't mean everything suddenly changes. But I think it's easy to forget that in the middle of the season, I had, I think, four or five 11th-place finishes in a row.
These modest remarks don't overshadow his fourth-place finish in Mexico, equaling the American team's best Grand Prix result. He continued: “We’ve gained a bit of car performance. So that 11th place has become 10th, 9th, 8th. And obviously, that’s better perceived by everyone. So yes, I’ve clearly improved. Especially since the summer break, I’ve found a very good rhythm and momentum. And of course, I’d say I’m ready.”
At present, however, it is difficult to imagine these rumors translating into actual negotiations. Where Charles Leclerc While Lewis Hamilton has a contract with Ferrari until the end of 2028, his agreement with Maranello remains unclear. However, it is rumored that Hamilton has a clause allowing him to unilaterally extend this agreement.

He improved throughout the season, to the point of mastering the sport and now surpassing Ocon not only in qualifying but also by a considerable margin in the standings. And, of course, things are getting heated between Ferrari and Hamilton. If not this year, he probably will be there by the end of 2026.
