“I’m not considering a move away from Haas at this stage.”Now in his second full season, Bearman targets consistent execution with Haas. That means tidier qualifying laps, strategic flexibility, and minimizing race-day losses to the midfield benchmark.
He remains tied to Ferrari through its academy, having made a composed debut for the Scuderia when standing in for Carlos Sainz at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The road to a Ferrari seat is crowded. Charles Leclerc’s recent victory with Ferrari and the arrival of Lewis Hamilton emphasize the strength of the current pairing, reinforcing Ferrari’s broader title challenge.

Ferrari has given no clarity for 2027; Bearman says he is waiting “in the dark.”Bearman states he hopes to join Ferrari long term but accepts he cannot influence those calls. He prioritizes performance at Haas as the best lever to shape future options.
Contractually, he is not a true free agent. His Ferrari ties preserve pathways but limit independence, leaving timing and openings dependent on others’ decisions.
Externally, interest from front-running structures underlines his value, yet the next steps hinge on the broader market. The evolving Red Bull driver situation and ongoing discussions around Max Verstappen’s future will influence how seats shake out.
