Four teams - including Haas - have been tipped as being possible destinations for Ferrari F1 super sub Oliver Bearman next year.

Bearman starred on his F1 debut as a last-minute replacement for Ferrari regular 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, who was diagnosed with appendicitis, at t𝔉he Sa꧅udi Arabian Grand Prix.

The 18-year-old Briton narrowly missed out on Q3 as he qualified 11th, before finishing an impressive seventh in the race, ahead of McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and seven-time world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

Bearman - who is racing in Formula 2 this season - is already being linked with a possible full-time F1 gr♍aduation as early a🉐s 2025, with Ferrari customer Haas appearing to be the most obvious landing spot.

However, BBC Sport’s chief F1 writer Andrew Benson has suggested that three other te🃏ams could also be interested in his se💦rvices.

“Oliver Bearmꦐan's drive to seventh place on his debut for Ferrari was proof of n🅷othing but his great talent,” Benson wrote.

“It was an outstanding performance, which was rightly lauded 🙈as indication o🥃f him being a potential future star.”

When a🌠sked if he deserves a seat for next year during a BBC Q&A, Benson replied: “Without doubt 🔯- and his team-mate Charles Leclerc, among others, said as much.

“Where is it likely to be? Bearman is a member of the Ferrari driver academy, and they♛ won't be wanting to let him go. So the obvious candidate is Haas, which is a closeꦕ partner of Ferrari.

"But quite a few teams are li♏kely to be interested in him after his performance in Saudi Arabia, so Ferrari could just as easily do a deal with Williams, Sauber, or perhaps even Alpine.”

Bearman, who has earned glowing praise from the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and Hamilton, admitted he is hopeful that “a door cou🌄ld open” for a permanent F1 seat in 2025.

"I don't know what else I can do beca🧸use I don't think I'll be in F1 for the rest of the year,” Bearman said in Jeddah. "So that was my goal, to do a great showing this weekend.

"I think I did a decent job, so that'🐻s alright and that's all I can do, keep pushing in F2 and cross my fingers, that's it.”

Speaking about Haas, who share a close relationship with Ferrari, Bearman added: "I have a lot of practice🃏s with Haas this year, so I'm looking forward to building up a relationship a🐟nd gaining more miles in the car.

"And hopefully a door could open tꦇhere [f♒or 2025], that would be fantastic.”
