F1 Beyond The Grid: Ollie Bearman's 2026 interview
In a candid conversation on the F1 Beyond The Grid podcast, Ollie Bearman tells Tom Clarkson that while Ferrari remains his ultimate dream, the reality of Lewis Hamilton's resurgence and Charles Leclerc's long-term deal means he can't afford to wait indefinitely for a seat.
The Haas driver insists he is performing at a high level despite results not reflecting his improvement, and has stepped up as a team leader this year—even addressing the whole squad after difficult races.
Bearman also opens up about the emotional moment he drove Ayrton Senna's 1985 Lotus 97T at Silverstone, describing the experience as one of the most special days of his life.
He reflects on whether he would ever leave the Ferrari family to pursue other opportunities, making clear that his ultimate goal is to fight for world championships—with or without the Scuderia.
