MEXICO CITY (AP) — As Oliver Bearman was crossing the finish line at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, his team in the garage celebrated. The British driver did not win the Mexican Grand Prix , nor did he make the podium, but it was a great result for him and his team.

The 20-year-old Bearman finished fourth on Sunday in Mexico to give Haas, the only American team racing in Formula 1, its second fourth-place finish since they started competing in 2016.

He finished behind Lando Norris, from McLaren, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Red Bull's Max Verstappen.

“I didn’t expect to be fighting against these top cars this year or at this stage of my career,” Bearman said at the end of the race. “But it gives me a great feeling for the future. And hopefully that can be the normal thing.”
