British teenager Oliver Bearman says there wasn’t much more he could do to prove he was ready for a full-time position in Formula One. This follows his dream debut when he replaced sick Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz in the weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The 18-year-old delivered an impressive performance to finish seventh.

Red Bull’s drivers, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, took the first two positions, followed by Charles Leclerc of Ferrari. Bearman was thrilled to score points in his debut race.
