The 18-year-old British man will be the youngest rider to debut for the team this Friday as the Spaniard underwent appendicitis surgery.
Oliver Bearman will make history at the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The 18-year-old and 10-month-old Briton will become the youngest driver to drive for the Ferrari team since He will replace Spaniard Carlos Sainz, who suffered from appendicitis and had to undergo surgery.
In this way, the youngsters will be the ones to sit in the place left and do it from the free practice 3 this Friday until the race which takes place on Saturday from 2 pm at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
In his debut with the team, Bearman will break the record previously held by Mexican Ricardo Rodríguez, who made his debut at the 1961 Italian GP when he was 19 years, six months and 27 days old.
The good news received by Bearman, where a place was opened due to Sainz’s injury, means that I will not be able to participate in the Formula 2 race -He is a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy- where he took pole position, thus losing his chance to start in first place.
Beyond the fine gift he’s had in the second category, throughout his career he’s excelled in several divisions since took third place in the Formula 3 Championship when he made his debut in 2022 and finished sixth in F2 last year.
However, this is not his debut in an F1 car since last year he took part in two free practice sessions with the Haas team in Grand Prix of Mexico and Abu Dhabi. He is one of the members of the list of drivers in charge of being a reserve for the Ferrari and Haas team, with Antonio Giovinazzi and Robert Schwarzman.
