Ferrari Have Ready-Made Lewis Hamilton Replacement Ready
Former Formula One driver Johnny Herbet has revealed that Ferrari see Oliver Bearman as a replacement for Lewis Hamilton at the time when Lewis decided to close the curtain on his glorious career.
Oliver Bearman has given some excellent performances whenever he has driver in Formula One and since the young driver is associated with Ferrari, it is very likely that he will one day be wearing the Ferrari red colours.
“He seems to be able to adapt and show speed. That is a really good sign for next year, which is going to be important for him at Haas to try and dominate Ocon. That is exciting as it’s another Brit and, potentially down the line with the relationship he has got with Ferrari, who knows?"
‘Ferrari Are Very Aware’- Johnny Herbert On Oliver Bearman
"He could be joining Ferrari at the end of Lewis’s time there – whenever that may be. So, there is a good replacement already there and Ferrari are very aware that he is someone they want to give a chance to when the opportunity arises.”
Oliver Bearman will be entering Formula One full time in 2025 when he will be driving for Haas.
