Bearman: “There is an open dialogue with Ferrari, but let’s not talk about the future. I have to continue to perform well”

Bearman races towards Ferrari With his performances during the 2025 World Championship, Lewis Hamilton may have begun to think that his current contract with Ferrari will be the last of his career. If not even the farewell to ground effect cars, never digested by the Briton, brought benefits, the extension of the marriage between Hamilton and the Red would be a more difficult scenario. In any case, the Scuderia already has a replacement, Oliver Bearman who did so much good for Haas in his debut year among the starters. The Englishman, a product of the Ferrari Academy, had a convincing season, made even more significant by the objective difficulties of racing with a low-end car against an expert and mangy driver like Esteban Ocon: beating the Frenchman gave weight and substance to the young man’s season; Ferrari has certainly taken note, but Bearman wants to continue to let the track do the talking without thinking of a future in red. Bearman’s words “I talk to Frederic Vasseur from time to time. I like to clarify what’s happening on my side, because it’s easy to just see the results, but they don’t always tell the whole story”, these are the words of #87. “As for my future, we don’t talk about it. I just drive the car. I think the rest will come automatically if I provide good performances.” “There were times when Ferrari asked me to improve some aspects of driving, but for me it was always obvious that I would have to grow; my experience level is increasing and of course I improve with time,” he added. “There is an open discussion. Let’s talk about the challenges I face. Furthermore, the 2026 regulations will be an important challenge and I will have the same engine as them.”
