Oliver Bearman says he is ready for a leadership role at Haas in 2027. If rookie Rafael Camara replaces Esteban Ocon, the team could lean more on Bearman’s feedback in developing the car, GPBeat reports.

Oliver Bearman says he is ready to take on a leadership role at Haas in 2027, as Esteban Ocon is due to leave the team at the end of the 2026 season.

Preparing for his third full F1 season in 2027, Bearman says he has come a long way over the past two years, particularly in how he works with the team away from the track and his understanding of car development. RacingNews365 reported that Haas was understood to have been steering him towards a leadership role for some time.

When the report appeared, Haas had yet to name Ocon’s successor. RacingNews365 said Brazilian Rafael Camara was believed to be the favourite and that, if he joined as a rookie, Haas would lean more on Bearman’s feedback to develop the car.
