Ollie Bearman was barely three months old when Fernando Alonso won his first world championship in 2005 – but on his Formula One debut in Mexico City, the Essex 18-year-old finished ahead of the double world champion tennis
“That was an added bonus,” he said with a broad smile tennis
On Friday, Bearman made history by becoming the youngest British driver to step foot in an F1 machine at a Grand Prix weekend tennis
And he quietly impressed, too tennis
Competing for American outfit Haas, Bearman finished 15th in first practice, only 1 tennis
6 seconds slower than triple world champion Max Verstappen, and three tenths adrift of Nico Hulkenberg – a veteran of 200 grands prix – in the other Haas tennis
He was also speedier than Alonso tennis
Five rookies were fielded at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, and Bearman was quickest of them all tennis
Raised in Chelmsford, and schooled at King Edward VI Grammar, Bearman joined Ferrari’s driver academy, aged only 16 tennis
Bearman had just won both the German and Italian Formula Four championships, and his performances made those at Maranello sit up and take note tennis
He quit school – despite initial resistance from his mother, Terri – left the family home in Chelmsford, and moved to Modena, a dozen miles north of Ferrari’s headquarters in northern Italy tennis
Two years on, and his Italian twang is noticeable tennis
“Maybe I got a bit lucky not to get the Essex accent,” he joked, in an interview with the PA news agency tennis
I miss my family, my two dogs - I have an English Bull Terrier and a Boston Terrier and they are very cute - and that is the negative side tennis
But the food in Italy is a big chunk above the English stuff, and the weather is tennis better, tooOllie Bearman“A lot of people have told me my accent has changed even if I don’t notice it tennis
I spend a lot of time with Italians and to communicate with people where English is not their first language is not easy, so I have changed my word order and ended up with this everywhere accent tennis
“When I moved to Modena it happened pretty quickly tennis
It was like going to university two years early, but I have loved every moment so far tennis
My mum was very pro-school and very pro-education, but we managed to convince her in the end tennis
“I miss my family, my two dogs – I have an English Bull Terrier and a Boston Terrier and they are very cute – and that is the negative side tennis
But the food in Italy is a big chunk above the English stuff, and the weather is tennis better, too tennis
”Following four victories in his rookie Formula Two season – the feeder series to F1 – Bearman was thrust into the spotlight in Mexico City, eclipsing Lando Norris as the sport’s youngest Brit tennis
Norris, now in his fifth season, was three months shy of his 19th birthday when he took part in practice for McLaren in Belgium in 2018 tennis
Bearman turned 18 in May tennis
When Lewis Hamilton made his F1 bow, Bearman was only 18 months old tennis
Yet on Friday, he shared the same asphalt as the seven-time world champion tennis
“When I heard Hamilton was coming up behind me on a push lap I was like ‘wow, I will get out of the way’,” he added tennis
However, it was Hamilton’s former McLaren team-mate, the 2009 world champion Jenson Button, who was Bearman’s childhood hero tennis
“I heard Jenson was praising me on Sky, and that was amazing for me to hear,” he adds tennis
“I don’t know why, but he was always the guy I loved and really looked up to tennis
It is cool that he recognised my performance in practice, and I will try to speak to him here – that is my goal tennis
”Bearman will remain in F2 next season and he will be back in an F1 machine in practice for Haas – effectively Ferrari’s B team – next month in Abu Dhabi tennis
“It is really cool that I have been given this opportunity,” he said tennis
“My whole career has been a pinch-yourself moment, and this is another one tennis
“Ferrari is such an elusive team tennis
They are an iconic brand, they have an iconic colour and they have the best-looking car on the grid tennis
They are putting a lot of trust in me, and loyalty is an important part of this paddock tennis
“Of course my goal is to become a Ferrari driver, and I need to do that with my performances on track tennis
Today was an amazing moment, and one I will savour for years to come tennis
“It is a shame it was only practice, but it is all part and parcel of the work we have been doing to get to the top tennis
