For almost a decade, my mom and I have kept one tradition. Wherever Formula 1 races that weekend, that is where dinner comes from. Melbourne sends us to the Australian coast. Suzuka brings Japan into our kitchen. Monza means Italy, and a very long lunch.

What began as a way to watch together became the best part of our week. A country we have never visited. An ingredient we have never bought. An hour side by side at the stove before the lights go out. Somewhere between the first course and the checkered flag, it stopped being dinner and became ours.

For years we joked that it should be a cookbook. Now we are writing it, together, one race at a time.

Podium Plates is more than a book to us. It is a reason to keep building something side by side, to keep learning the places we have only seen on a screen, and to follow this sport a little closer with every season. Support it, and you are not only backing a cookbook. You are pulling up a chair at our table, and coming along for whatever comes next.

Oliver Bearman

British racing driver

Ferrari Debut at Eighteen

Oliver Bearman made his Formula One debut for Ferrari at 18 in 2024 and has raced full time for Haas since 2025.

Born in Chelmsford, Oliver Bearman won the Italian and ADAC F4 titles in 2021 and finished third as a rookie in FIA Formula 3 in 2022 before winning races in Formula 2. As a Ferrari and Haas reserve driver in 2024, he stood in for Carlos Sainz Jr. at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, finishing seventh on his debut at 18, the youngest driver to race for Ferrari.

Two more substitute outings for Haas followed that year, and he joined the team full time in 2025. His best result so far is fourth at the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix, and in 2026 he has added fifth in China. Through the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix he has made 42 starts.

0 world titles, 0 wins, 0 pole positions, 42 starts.
