Oliver Bearman is expected to remain with Haas for the 2027 season, even though the deal has not yet been officially finalised. Team principal Ayao Komatsu has made his desire to keep the Briton clear, explaining that certain contract details still need to be ironed out.
Bearman has established himself as the team leader at Haas this season, despite partnering the considerably more experienced Esteban Ocon. The Frenchman is set to leave at the end of the campaign and will be replaced by Rafael Camara.
Komatsu outlined his intention to continue working with the young driver, who currently races for the team on loan from Ferrari:
"I can't go into specific contract details, but from my perspective, I would love to continue with Ollie. He has incredible talent and has shown remarkable progress. This season, he proved that he is fully ready to be the team leader."
The Haas boss is delighted with the Briton's development, stressing that he is now far more than just a promising young prospect. Komatsu also praised his performance in the most recent race:
"The way he drove in Singapore was also very impressive. It's just a matter of time and finalising a few details. Our clear intention is to continue with Ollie, and the official announcement will come at the right moment."
