Bearman isn't signed yet. He's under serious consideration.

“Of course we are evaluating him,” said Komatsu. “If he is not [under] consideration, we wouldn’t be running him in FP1, and the next time he’s going to be in the car is in Barcelona.”

fewer levels of reporting - goal is usually to have a more flexible, reactive and better communicating organization. Gives more responsibility to all individuals in the organization hopefully leading to greater buy-in and involvement of all staff.
