Ferrari, Haas Near Bearman Deal for 2027

Bearman’s remarks also highlight the bottleneck created by Ferrari’s current lineup. Lewis Hamilton has activated an option that keeps him at Ferrari through 2027, while Charles Leclerc is understood to be under contract through at least 2030, leaving little immediate room for Bearman even if he continues to progress. According to Autosport, his camp is seeking guarantees that he will still have a credible path to Ferrari, or else the agreement could allow him to leave Maranello’s orbit and negotiate elsewhere.

For Haas, securing Bearman would stabilize one seat as the team reshapes its line-up for 2027, with Rafa Câmara already set to arrive. A renewal would also deepen Haas’ reliance on Ferrari’s driver pipeline, giving the U.S.-based team two drivers linked to the Italian marque and potentially a more competitive pairing as it tries to climb the midfield.

The story matters economically because F1 driver contracts are now a key part of team strategy, sponsorship positioning and future competitiveness. For Ferrari, retaining control of a highly rated junior driver helps protect one of its most valuable assets: a bench of talent that can either feed the factory team or be leveraged in partner-team negotiations.

Ferrari shares were last around $409.99, well above their 50-day average of $402.63 and 200-day average of $371.87, while Honda, which has its own F1 and mobility ties, ended at $34.47 versus a 50-day average of $33.18. Ferrari’s stock has also traded within reach of its upper Bollinger Band, reflecting investor confidence that the company’s premium brand and racing halo remain intact even as the driver market tightens around Hamilton and Leclerc.

For investors, the main takeaway is that Ferrari’s F1 program remains both a marketing engine and a talent pipeline, and decisions around Bearman could ripple beyond the paddock into brand strategy, partner-team relationships and the long-term succession plan behind one of the sport’s most closely watched seats.

The next catalyst is whether Haas and Ferrari finalize Bearman’s extension and whether Ferrari attaches any future-rights conditions that keep its options open for 2028.
