MoneyGram Haas F1 Team’s Oliver Bearman will kick-off the most exciting year of his career by opening the Autosport International Show (ASI), Europe’s biggest dedicated motorsport exhibition, at the NEC in Birmingham in January 2025.

Bearman, who will embark on his first full season in Formula 1 next year with MoneyGram Haas F1, will cut the ribbon to open ASI at 9am on Saturday January 11th, the first of the four-day show’s two that are open to the public.

The appearance will offer F1 fans their first golden chance to see and hear from Ollie ahead of his much-anticipated rookie season, with Sky F1 commentator David Croft interviewing him on the main stage during the day to gain insight into the 19-year-old’s grand prix preparations.

A stand dedicated to Bearman, featuring the Formula 4 car in which he won both the German and Italian national championships in 2021, will be included at ASI to launch Oliver’s own brand of merchandise. A MoneyGram Haas F1 car will also feature in a display that will mark 75 years of the F1 World Championship.

Bearman is already the youngest British driver to start an F1 Grand Prix, following his sensational debut for Scuderia Ferrari earlier this year in Saudi Arabia, where he was a lastminute substitute for Carlos Sainz Jr. The teenager became the third youngest of all to start an F1 Grand Prix, and the first Englishman to represent Ferrari since Nigel Mansell, on his way to a stunning points-scoring seventh place finish. Bearman subsequently signed to race for Haas in 2025, but was also calle upon to make his second F1 start as substitute for Kevin Magnussen at the Azerbaijan GP, where he impressed and scored again by finishing a superb 10th, becoming the first driver in history to score points for two different teams in his first two races.

At the show will be a range of motorsport clubs and championships, covering the grass roots and karting, right up to the pinnacle of elite race competition. And look out for a mouthwatering range of cars across our Motorsport, Performance and Live Action Arena halls. Remember, every Autosport International weekend ticket includes access to the 5000-seat Live Action Arena – a racing oval-based driving show, packed with smoking stunts, deafening drifting and racing thrills.
