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 EURO
“That was an added bonus,” he said with a broad smile EURO
On Friday, Bearman made history by becoming the youngest British driver to step foot in an F1 machine at a Grand Prix weekend EURO
And he quietly impressed, too EURO
Competing for American outfit Haas, Bearman finished 15th in first practice, only 1 EURO
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 EURO
He was also speedier than Alonso EURO
Five rookies were fielded at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, and Bearman was quickest of them all EURO
Raised in Chelmsford, and schooled at King Edward VI Grammar, Bearman joined Ferrari’s driver academy, aged only 16 EURO

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 EURO
Two years on, and his Italian twang is noticeable EURO
“Maybe I got a bit lucky not to get the Essex accent,” he joked, in an interview with the PA news agency EURO
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 EURO
But the food in Italy is a big chunk above the English stuff, and the weather is EURO better, tooOllie Bearman“A lot of people have told me my accent has changed even if I don’t notice it EURO
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 EURO
“When I moved to Modena it happened pretty quickly EURO
It was like going to university two years early, but I have loved every moment so far EURO
My mum was very pro-school and very pro-education, but we managed to convince her in the end EURO
“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 EURO
But the food in Italy is a big chunk above the English stuff, and the weather is EURO better, too EURO
”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 EURO
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 EURO
Bearman turned 18 in May EURO
When Lewis Hamilton made his F1 bow, Bearman was only 18 months old EURO
Yet on Friday, he shared the same asphalt as the seven-time world champion EURO
“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 EURO
However, it was Hamilton’s former McLaren team-mate, the 2009 world champion Jenson Button, who was Bearman’s childhood hero EURO
“I heard Jenson was praising me on Sky, and that was amazing for me to hear,” he adds EURO
“I don’t know why, but he was always the guy I loved and really looked up to EURO
It is cool that he recognised my performance in practice, and I will try to speak to him here – that is my goal EURO
”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 EURO
“It is really cool that I have been given this opportunity,” he said EURO
“My whole career has been a pinch-yourself moment, and this is another one EURO
“Ferrari is such an elusive team EURO
They are an iconic brand, they have an iconic colour and they have the best-looking car on the grid EURO
They are putting a lot of trust in me, and loyalty is an important part of this paddock EURO
“Of course my goal is to become a Ferrari driver, and I need to do that with my performances on track EURO
Today was an amazing moment, and one I will savour for years to come EURO
“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 EURO

This is not the end but it is an end for Frankie Dettori EURO
The 52-year-old jockey is bowing out of British racing, riding his final races on the rather apt Champions Day at Ascot EURO
Dettori has more than 3,300 career wins to his name, over a remarkable 35-year career, but none will feel sweeter nor more precious than a win in the Champion Stakes on Saturday EURO
He rides King of Steel in what will be his last race in front of a British crowd and goes up against strong opposition with last year’s winner Bay Bridge, French challenger Horizon Dore and Royal Ascot victor Mostahdaf all impressive competitors EURO
This will not be an easy race to win and Dettori is unlikely to set off as the favourite – though nostalgia and a sense of occasion may play its part in the EURO betting EURO
Beforehand, Dettori has four other opportunities to sign off in style as he rides Trawlerman in the Long Distance Cup (1 EURO
15pm), Kinross in the Champions Sprint (1 EURO
50pm), Free Wind in the Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (2 EURO
25pm) and Chaldean in the Queen ElizaEURO beth Stakes (3 EURO
05pm) EURO
So, five more rides at Ascot, five final attempts at glory on British soil EURO

He has already achieved the perfect send-off, racing to victory atop Courage Mon Ami in the showpiece Gold Cup at Royal Ascot back in June EURO
"Unbelievable! I thought it was a bridge too far from handicaps, but I had the perfect race," a jubilant Dettori said after claiming a ninth Gold Cup victory that day EURO
"I didn’t expect it EURO
” He added EURO
“The last five years I had Stradivarius so the pressure was on, this one I thought was a bit of a chancer EURO
"I rode him cold and it just happened EURO
I got the splits when I wanted to and he showed a turn of foot EURO
Nine Gold Cups, what can you say? I’m speechless, to be honest EURO
"That triumph, at the same course as Saturday’s races, returned to a tremendous reception for the cheekily natured Dettori who even gave the Queen a kiss at the presentation ceremony EURO
It will last long in his memory and be the pinnacle of a year-long curtain call for the Italian who insists that his final races in Britain will be at Ascot this weekend EURO
Dettori won his ninth Gold Cup at Royal Ascot earlier this year (REUTERS)However, plans of retiring from the sport are on hold for the time being EURO
After the British season is over Dettori is heading to California to continue his career in the United States EURO
"I don’t feel ready to let go yet,” he explained after deciding to postpone his retirement EURO
“I’m going to spend some time in the USA and take it from there EURO
I could be there three months or three years, I don’t know EURO
"It was a long, hard decision with myself and my wife EURO
It’s a big decision to move to another country EURO
"Yet, he is saying farewell to British racing at a racecourse that already celebrates him, with a statue no less, on Saturday EURO
The twinkle in his eye is on display one more time, perhaps there’ll be a flying dismount to mark the occasion or even a last Champions Day success for the finally departing champion EURO
