Haas Formula 1 boss Guenther Steiner is confident that rookie Oliver Bearman won’t “go through anything stupid” when he drives the VF-23 in FP1 in Mexico on Friday.
The Ferrari Driver Academy member, who currently lies sixth in the FIA F2 standings, is the latest in a line of Maranello proteges to get track time with Haas. The team has been burned in FP1 before, with Antonio Giovinazzi crashing heavily as a rookie in Hungary in 2017, and again last year as a veteran at COTA.
“But at the same time, I'm really excited to get going, it's going to be really fun. I've already driven F1 in Fiorano. So I've got a taste of what it's like at full gas. 'This will just be building into it, and hopefully bringing some useful data for the team as well.' Asked about Ferrari’s targets for his outing, he said: 'No targets from anyone, even from myself. I think it would be silly to set any expectations. My first target is just to enjoy it, really.
