Oliver Bearman made history when he crossed the line in 10th place during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix for Haas.

The 19-year-old British driver was substituting for Kevin Magnussen at Haas after he was handed a one-race ban after the Italian GP, due to hitting 12 penalty points in 12 months on his FIA Super Licence.

It is the second time that Oliver Bearman has substituted in for a full-time driver on the grid, after Carlos Sainz was hit with appendicitis during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Having made his F1 debut for Ferrari at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Bearman finished in eighth place and earned four points.

With his points finish in the Azerbaijan GP with Haas, the Briton managed to achieve something no other F1 driver has ever done.

Oliver Bearman becomes first F1 driver to score points on debut with two different teams in same season

Bearman created F1 history with his 10th-place finish as being the first driver to score points on debut with two different teams in the same season.

Although drivers have previously scored points for two different constructors during a season, no driver has ever scored points for two different teams in their first two Grands Prix.

Bearman was initially outside of the points when a collision between Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez promoted him up the order.

The Briton was behind Nico Hulkenberg when he overtook his teammate with Lewis Hamilton at Turn 3, after the German was distracted by button changes on his steering wheel.

Haas extends the gap to Williams and Alpine in Constructors’ Championship

With Bearman’s points finish it means Haas extends their lead over Williams and Alpine in the Constructors’ Championship.

The team is now 13 points clear of Williams, who moved ahead of Alpine with a double-points finish for Alex Albon and Franco Colapinto in Baku.

Magunssen will return with the team at the next race in Singapore, where Haas could score more points if they can qualify well in the midfield.

Sauber remains the only team to not score a point so far this year, having had a dire start and failed to improve their form throughout the season.
