Sky Sports F1 pundit reveals 'incredible' quality of Bearman after debut

Sky Sports F1 pundit Bernie Collins has revealed the one aspect of Ollie Bearman's Formula 1 debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix that impressed her.

18-year-old Bearman made his grand prix debut in Jeddah with Ferrari following Carlos Sainz's appendicitis surgery ruling him out of both qualifying and the race.

The young Brit thoroughly impressed, missing out on Q3 by just three hundredths of a second on Friday, before beating seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton in the race on Saturday.

Bearman finished seventh, picking up his first points in F1 having previously only taken part in practice sessions on two occasions in 2023.

Bearman's mature display

The 18-year-old became the third-youngest driver in F1 history to compete in a race, as well as the youngest Brit.

He has previously highlighted 2025 as a real opportunity for him to gain a full-time seat in the sport and, with 14 drivers due to be out of contract at the end of this season, his performance in Jeddah may well have forced himself into consideration for a number of teams.

Now, Collins has revealed that his personality throughout the weekend really impressed her, highlighting his self-awareness for improvement.

"It's just incredible he's being self-critical of himself," she told Sky Sports F1 during the weekend.

"That will stand him in good stead for the future."
