Oliver Bearman issues firm declaration over F1 future amid new contract delay

Oliver Bearman believes he "is ready" to move to a "top four team" in F1 and be able to fight "for podiums" as his new contract at Haas is delayed.

That Bearman will remain at Haas for a third season in 2027 is not in doubt, with team boss Ayao Komatsu playing up his strengths as the new team leader, with fellow Ferrari junior Rafael Camara set to replace Esteban Ocon.
