Steiner: I would give Bearman F1 seat

Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has revealed he would promote Ferrari junior Oliver Bearman to a full race seat for next season following a stunning debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

The Briton had taken pole position for the F2 feature race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit before being called up by the Scuderia to deputise for Carlos Sainz, who was forced to undergo surgery after being diagnosed with appendicitis.

How a shock decision could favour Bearman’s F1 drive search
