Much was expected from Oliver Bearman after his stellar debut substituting for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari in Saudi Arabia the previous season, a drive so confident and assured that it masked the two rather less auspicious ones for Haas later in the season.
His full-time rookie year also provided highs and lows, but the mistakes were in the minority. It was unfortunate for him that his seasonal nadir came on home ground at Silverstone, where he picked up points on his licence as well as a grid penalty. He built nicely in the second half, notably in Mexico and Brazil.
