After three impressive races during the 2024 in a reserve rule for both Ferrari and Haas, Oliver Bearman earned a full-time seat at Haas for the 2025 Formula 1 season. But that rookie campaign for Bearman has gotten off to a very difficult start.

Two F1 stars have been hit by a last-minute demotion at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. Things could not have gone much worse for Liam Lawson and Oliver Bearman in their first official competitive grand prix weekends with Red Bull and Haas respectively in 2025.

Rain is projected to start overnight and continue throughout the day, with temperatures dropping from 75f to 60f by the time of the race start. Wind is also expected to pick up to around 15mph around the start of the race, making the tricky track even more difficult.
