Oliver Bearman<\/a> admits that Ferrari<\/a> has \u201ca big say\u201d on his future with his F1 2027 plans yet to be officially confirmed.<\/p>\n

The Brit wants to continue with Haas, and understands the feeling to be mutual, though the \u201cultimate goal\u201d remains a Ferrari seat.<\/p>\n

Oliver Bearman wants to continue with Haas<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old, who remains a Ferrari junior driver, has impressed since stepping up to Formula 1 full-time, with Haas, in 2025.<\/p>\n

With one-half of the Haas line-up is set for F1 2027, as fellow Ferrari prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Rafael Camara steps up from Formula 2,\u00a0Bearman<\/a> was asked what was missing for his own confirmation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn my side, and I think on Ayao [Komatsu, Haas team principal\u2019s] side as well if I\u2019m not mistaken, we\u2019re very sure that we want to continue working together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only sticking points are kind of out of my hands, more contractual points.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s out of my hands. I\u2019m leaving it to my management and of course Ferrari as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bearman\u2019s performances over the past few seasons have solidified his position as next in line at Ferrari when a vacancy emerges.<\/p>\n

But, as Charles Leclerc has recently signed a new long-term deal, and Lewis Hamilton seemingly not contemplating retirement, Bearman may have a fairly long wait for that opening.<\/p>\n

He was asked whether he wants a one-year deal and flexibility, or the security of a multi-year deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m committed to Haas myself, and the length of the deal is not really my remit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy to be in F1, but of course, looking into the medium, long term, I also feel like I\u2019m ready to fight for podiums and fight at the front.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of a midfield team, Haas is the team that I want to be with and I see my future with. But at some point as well, I feel like I\u2019ve earned the opportunity to go out and look for a top four team, and of course, with my link with Ferrari, that will be my ultimate goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut like I said, I\u2019m not discussing the nitty-gritty. That\u2019s what my short-term ambition is, and my medium to long is, of course, to be fighting for podiums. I hope that Haas can give me that opportunity. But yeah, let\u2019s see.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course Ferrari are involved. At the end, I am a junior driver of Ferrari, and that\u2019s ultimately the reason I\u2019m here because of that. So of course they have a big say in what my future looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bearman has scored 23 points thus far in F1 2026, placing him P13 in the Drivers\u2019 standings<\/a>.<\/p>\n
