Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, and now Oliver Bearman – the most recent Formula 1 drivers to have opened the Autosport International Show.
In cutting the red ribbon to allow the public access to the 2025 show last Saturday, Haas rookie Bearman closed a remarkably fast circle of single-seater career progression.
