BRITAIN’S latest Formula One star Ollie Bearman has revealed that he failed his first driving test.

The 19-year-old, who was thrust into the limelight as last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as a late stand-in for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, has been handed a full-time seat with Haas for the forthcoming F1 campaign.

But, speaking at the sport’s 2025 launch event at London’s O2 Arena, Bearman said he required another go at obtaining his road driving licence.
