Oliver James Bearman (born 8 May 2005) is a British racing driver, currently competing in the FIA Formula 2 Championship for Prema and serving as a reserve driver in Formula One for Ferrari and Haas. Bearman has competed in Formula One at three Grands Prix in 2024.
Born in London and raised in Chelmsford, Bearman began competitive kart racing aged seven, winning several national and continental titles. Graduating to junior formulae in 2020, Bearman won his first title at the 2021 Italian F4 Championship, also winning the ADAC F4 Championship that year, both with Van Amersfoort. He then competed in FIA Formula 3 in 2022, finishing third in his rookie season with Prema. Bearman progressed to Formula 2 in 2023, winning several races across two seasons.
A member of the Ferrari Driver Academy since 2022, Bearman is a reserve driver for both Ferrari and Haas in 2024, substituting for Carlos Sainz Jr. in Saudi Arabia—making his Formula One debut—and for Kevin Magnussen in Azerbaijan and São Paulo, becoming the youngest-ever driver to compete for Ferrari at the former. From 2025 onwards, he is set to compete for Haas alongside Esteban Ocon.
