Bearman says Haas upgrade is working ahead of Singapore GP

In Haas’s October 5 Singapore preview, Oliver Bearman said the upgrade was working, though it was still being fine-tuned to get it into the window. He added that he felt better placed to fight for points than he did in mid-2026.

Haas left the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia at Sepang on October 4 without points: the FIA’s final classification placed Bearman 14th and Esteban Ocon 15th, with both completing all 55 laps.

Formula 1’s race-day overview said Haas had not matched the pace of its rivals in Malaysia. After the race, Bearman said he had lost 40 seconds, described the car as fast and said the right tyre choice at the start could have put the team in the points fight. Team principal Ayao Komatsu said Haas should have pitted Bearman as soon as it realized how much lap time he was going to lose.

Singapore’s first Sprint is also the sixth and final one of the season. It is scheduled for 17:00 local time on Saturday, October 10, with the Grand Prix to start at 20:00 on Sunday, October 11.
