Pictures: Ferrari prodigy clicked with Tennis sensation Jannik Sinner
Ferrari F1 sensation Oliver Bearman met with tennis star Jannik Sinner during the latter's ATP Tour Finals in Turin, Italy. Sinner competed against Taylor Fritz and claimed the victory, securing another big title to his already scintillating year.
Sinner and Fritz fought it all out in the ATP Tour Finals at Inalpi Arena, and the former won the match in two sets - 6-4, 6-4 - in front of his home crowd. The Italian tennis player claimed two Grand Slams — the Australian Open, and US Open earlier this year, and this was another feather to his already illustrious cap.
With the victory, Sinner, who is currently the World No. 1, won a whopping $4.8 million [£3.8 million] prize money, the largest winner's prize on the men's tour. Following his victory, he met with Bearman, as the duo clicked a selfie.
Bearman and Sinner posed for a photo, as the latter held the trophy in his hand. Sky Sports F1 posted the photo from their official X account and credited it to the ATP tour.
Below are the pictures of Oliver Bearman and Jannik Sinner:
As a Ferrari prodigy, Italy is not a foreign ground for Bearman, who hails from the United States. He is a regular at Maranello, situated in the Modena Province, Scuderia Ferrari's F1 base.
The 19-year-old driver is currently serving as a reserve driver for Ferrari and Haas. Besides this, he is currently racing in Formula 2, with Prema Racing, which has its base in Veneto, Italy.
Oliver Bearman to miss out on post-season test with Haas
Oliver Bearman will miss out on the post-season test with the Haas F1 team after Formula 1 concludes its 2024 season in Abu Dhabi. The reason? The British driver is no longer a rookie.
According to the F1 rule, a team can field a rookie and an experienced driver in the post-season test. However, Bearman is no longer one as F1 regards drivers with two or fewer Grand Prix starts as rookies.
Whereas, the Briton has three race starts to his name after he made his F1 debut as a replacement for Carlos Sainz in March. Bearman replaced the Ferrari driver, who was out due to appendicitis surgery and drove alongside Charles Leclerc.
Bearman's next F1 chance came calling in Azerbaijan when he replaced Kevin Magnussen, who had to miss out on a race after he exceeded his penalty points. His last and final appearance arrived in Brazil when he replaced Magnussen again, but the latter was sick this time.
Oliver Bearman signed a multi-year contract with Haas in July this year. Under the contract, he will kick off his first full-time F1 career where he will replace Kevin Magnussen and drive alongside Esteban Ocon.
