Overview
- Oliver Bearman finished fourth at the Mexico City Grand Prix, matching Haas’ joint-best F1 result and setting a personal career high.
- Starting ninth, he gained three places on lap one and briefly ran third after capitalising on a Hamilton–Verstappen tussle.
- He supported Haas’ decision to pit a second time, saying chasing a podium risked slipping to sixth or seventh and that consolidating points was the right call.
- He raced wheel-to-wheel with Max Verstappen and held off Oscar Piastri in the closing stages to seal the result.
- Bearman’s 12 points and Esteban Ocon’s ninth delivered Haas’ first double-points finish since 2022 and lifted the team to eighth in the Constructors’ standings, drawing praise from team boss Ayao Komatsu and Ferrari’s Fred Vasseur.
