Bearman's impressive fourth-place finish in Mexico highlighted his growing consistency and racecraft, marking a turning point in his rookie season. While not yet assured a Ferrari seat, his trajectory draws favorable comparisons to Leclerc’s early career. Ferrari must weigh promoting youth like Bearman against high-profile options like Hamilton, whose age raises questions about longevity. Meanwhile, Red Bull delays its decision on Tsunoda due to concerns over his consistency and points record, exposing broader issues in their driver development strategy. Criticism also surrounds FIA stewarding, with calls for fewer rules and independent officials to ensure fairness. The sport balances new fan engagement from media exposure with the risk of alienating traditional followers, while unique challenges like high-altitude racing in Mexico test both machines and drivers physically.
