Bearman gets your Saudi Arabia Driver of the Day vote

What a weekend for the 18-year-old Ferrari reserve Oliver Bearman. Subbed in for the ill Carlos Sainz ahead of FP3. Almost makes Q3 in qualifying. And then scores six points on his F1 race debut.

    Incredible job he did, I mean a mistake is easily made as you could tell by Stroll / Ricciardo but he kept his cool. In the end he seemed to be a tad worried about Norris and Hamilton but he was managed well from the pit wall.

    Growing up, all those race car pilots (or any pro athlete for that matter) looked so much older.

    Now I’m in my early 40’s and suddenly they all look like god dang teenagers.

    Oh wait… HE IS!!!

    😭😭😭😭

    Lucky guy. I wish I had the opportunity he has.

    I’ll go take my ibuprofen now…

    His name did not rang a bell for me, but what a magnificent drive for this 18yo rookie in a Ferrari. You need alot of maturity to be able to pull this off at his age.

    I’m a bit sad for Antonio Fuoco, another (Italian) Ferrari driver that is currently racing in WEC, now that Bearman put this superb performance on track it’s way more difficult for him to emerge to get an F1 seat.
