Oliver Bearman had no doubts. As for the young British talent, who from next year will become a regular driver for Haas after making his racing debut this year replacing red-shirted Carlos Sainz at the Saudi Grand Prix, his compatriot and champion World seven-time Lewis Hamilton will be a development opportunity for Ferrari from different perspectives

Hamilton, who in the last world championship held at Silverstone achieved the victory that had been missing for him for almost three years, joins the Cavallino team on a multi-year contract and will join the Maranello field from 2025, where he will compete in the final grand test of his incredible career alongside Charles Leclerc.

“I think he will bring a lot of experience to the team,” Bearman told Sky Sports UK. “He won seven championships, which is something not many people can say they’ve achieved. He will bring a good mentality to the team, a winning mentality, but obviously his talent is undeniable. He was one of the best but never succeeded. “

Bearman added: “It was great that he was able to share some of his experiences with me. I hope to learn a lot from him and I hope Ferrari can do the same, because I think he will be a valuable resource for the team.”
