Ollie Bearman dreams of driving for Ferrari, and the Maranello team is banking heavily on the young British driver’s potential.
Ferrari’s attention is currently focused on the present, with the battle with Mercedes just beginning and a full season (or almost) still to go, trying to bring back the title that has been missing for almost twenty years. The near future, however, is just around the corner, with a driver itching to wear the Prancing Horse’s colors: Ollie Bearman. The Briton, currently racing for Haas, is owned by Ferrari, and there are huge expectations for him, given what he’s been demonstrating over the past year.
Bearman himself, when asked about the topic, responded bluntly. Here’s what he said: “Of course I feel ready. I think if I didn’t feel ready to fight for the top, I shouldn’t even be on the track. I feel absolutely ready for podiums and victories. . If I’m here, it’s only thanks to Ferrari, who trusted me and supported me from the start. My biggest dream, long-term, is to put on a red suit and race for Ferrari. I’d be lying if I said otherwise.”
Bearman then added, speaking of Hamilton:“But I don’t think he sees me as a threat. He’s the most successful driver in our sport, a role model for all of us. And right now, my attention is completely focused on Haas. I think this year, with the new regulations, we have the opportunity to do something really important.” “.
