Bearman<\/a> hasn\u2019t been the best of the rookies, but he hasn\u2019t been the worst either. It\u2019s clear that at the age of 20, he has plenty of development left ahead of him.<\/p>\n Currently sitting 16th in the drivers\u2019 championship<\/a> is an acceptable return for his first season, but he\u2019ll want to kick on after the start of the 2026 F1 regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n Karun Chandhok thinks Bearman has made \u2018unforgivable\u2019 mistakes<\/a> and needs to eliminate those in the future.<\/p>\n Ferrari have already chosen who will replace Lewis Hamilton<\/a> if he suddenly decides to retire, which would be seen as a bit of a shock to some in the paddock.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Juan Pablo Montoya\u2019s son makes Oliver Bearman and Kimi Antonelli claim after being teammates with both drivers<\/a><\/p>\n Bearman rues a \u2018real issue\u2019<\/a> with the current regulation of cars that is making them especially difficult to drive. <\/p>\n It\u2019s something he will have to adapt to, but next year\u2019s rule changes should suit him if he wants to see a reduction in how effective the ground effect is.<\/p>\n Bearman has made some \u2018stupid mistakes\u2019 in 2025<\/a>, and he\u2019ll be the first to admit it, but talking to The Express<\/a>, he knows exactly what he has to do if he wants to replace Hamilton at Ferrari one day.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I was very lucky to have a taste of\u00a0Ferrari\u00a0for my first ever race, but my future moments with Haas, and I\u2019m really excited to see what we can do together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the more I can show now, the better my chances are in the future.
