F1: Bearman To Race For Haas At Azerbaijan GP Following Magnussen’s One-race Ban

Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy: Oliver Bearman will step into the empty Haas seat alongside Nico Hulkenberg for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, following Kevin Magnussen being hit with a one-race ban after being penalised for clashing with Alpine rival Pierre Gasly during the Italian Grand Prix, with the penalty points received tipping him over the limit for the season.

“It’s definitely more of a challenge stepping in to race as a reserve driver, with limited prep-time and so on, but I’m in the fortunate position of having done it earlier in the year with Scuderia Ferrari, so I can at least call on that experience," Bearman said in a statement.

"I’ve also had four FP1 sessions with the Haas F1 Team in the VF-24 already this season, so undoubtedly that will also prove to be valuable in tackling the full race weekend in Baku. The team is in good form at the moment and I’ll do my best to be prepared with the time we have available. The aim is to get out there and have a solid weekend in Azerbaijan,” he added.
