Rookie Bearman claims career-best fourth for Haas
Rookie Oliver Bearman modestly praised his Haas team's relentless hard work on Sunday after resisting intense pressure and finishing a career-best fourth in the Mexico City Grand Prix.
It was the young Briton's third successive points-scoring finish and equalled the American team's best finish, a performance that underlined he is one of the stars of the future.
"It feels great," said Bearman, 20, in his first full season in F1 after the race in which it seemed he might secure his and Haas's maiden podium finish.
"I'm really happy that is our joint-best finish in the history of the team.
"We had a great race and, of course, I was lucky to be where I was before the first stop, but actually we had the pace to stay there.
"I held off Max (Verstappen) in the first stint. I held off the Mercedes (George Russell) in the second and then the McLaren (Oscar Piastri) in the third, so I was under a lot of pressure.
"I spent more of the time looking in my rear view mirrors than in front, but that is sometimes how it has to be.
"And I'm really proud of the team because it really validates all the hard work we've been doing for the past few races."
