Bearman: “I hope I can learn a lot from Hamilton”

If he already has a Grand Prix in his legs, it is in 2025 that Oliver Bearman will really make his big debut in F1. And to prove himself in the big leagues, the young Englishman intends to put all the chances on his side. While the management of Haas has already affirmed his desire to be patient, the rookie aims to be as professional as possible, from his first steps with the American team.

For this, the child from Chelmsford will be able to rely on someone very experienced: Lewis Hamilton. Indeed, the current pilot Mercedes is expected to Maranello from next season and his compatriot hopes to be able to take advantage of his arrival to develop quickly, given his proximity to Ferrari, of which he is a member of the academy. Without forgetting that the Italian manufacturer is Haas' engine supplier.

“[Lewis Hamilton] will bring a lot of experience to the team, he assured in an interview with Sky Sports F1. He won seven world championships, that's not something many can boast about.

He will take his mentality with him as well. A winning mentality without forgetting his undeniable talent. It's one of the best of all time. It's great that he can, in a way, share his experience with me. I hope I learn a lot from him and Ferrari too, because I think he will be a great asset to the team."

Between these two men, the relationship began a few months ago when Oliver Bearman perfectly fulfilled his contract when replacing Carlos Sainz in Saudi Arabia (7th). Lewis Hamilton then said he was “impressed” by the performance of his compatriot who had even almost knocked him out in Q2 the day before. A good omen for the future.
