MEXICO CITY :Oliver Bearman came agonisingly close to delivering Haas their first Formula One podium after soaking up the pressure to finish fourth in Sunday's Mexico City Grand Prix.

The 20-year-old found himself in third place after an action-packed start and went toe-to-toe with seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull's Max Verstappen.

Verstappen, who is vying for a fifth straight drivers' title, dashed his podium dreams by taking third behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and race winner Lando Norris of McLaren, but Bearman was still proud of his achievement.

"Hamilton and Max had a bit of a coming together at the start and I benefited from that," Bearman told reporters.
