In F2, results by themselves are meaningless. What matters is what results you get at your age. That's why guys like Norris or Verstappen are great in F1 even if they didn't win their last junior formula season. Last year Ollie was the youngest in F2 and already on pace in his rookie season. That's why I boldly predicted him as the next Ferrari F1 champ (I hope they get their act together before he arrives 😅). Big thanks to Tommo for this interview!
Charles will be the next champ IF Ferrari can have a car as good as the 2022 car (until Spa at least) and have the management, reliability and pitstops/strategey of 2023
@@TommoMcCluskey Definitely agree with that. I felt his tyre management and quali inconsistency hurt him the most. Which is understandable at his age, also the past season was only his second year on the F1 support series' Pirelli tyres which are generally described as hard to master.
@@TommoMcCluskey as I’m sure you know, his agent told him he had to lose his Essex accent to get corporates on board with him. So he now affects an rp and Italian accent.
By far one of the most exciting rookies around at the moment. Pairing him with Kimi Antonelli at Prema is mind blowing, they're gonna kill it. The future of F1 right there. I just hope he starts somewhere other than Haas. He deserves a lot better.
I mean ferrari wont give there seat to a rookie even charles did not get one And sauber would be audi by that time so audi may not want an ferrari driver to be in that team
@unwantedwolf8310 True. I know he's tied to the Ferrari academy but I'd love to see him go somewhere like Williams. Teaming with Albon as they continue to ascend would be so cool. Haas is such a dumpster fire right now.
Dream big with your life work extremely hard and your make it. Age is on your side and that's a huge thing. Perhaps you won't make f1 but you could be a gt driver. Or away from it be successful in business and buy whatever car you like. Go for it and remember there mistakes are good as long as you learn
Such a nice chat :) Thank you so much Tommo and Ollie! I was lucky enough to talk shortly to Ollie on his trackwalk in Austria and even in that short amount of time you felt how relaxed and normal it felt to speak to him. Really a bit similar to Oscar, which is not that normal across the other F2 and F1 drivers :) I wish Ollie all the best for his future! Maybe we can even have a small segment of reviewing the F2 as well in your post race chinwags. At least I would appreciate that :) I cant wait for the start of the new season! Keep it up Tommo :)
Bearman is my favourite F2 driver at the moment, mainly because hes from the UK, and very fast, young, talented, and I was only born 3 years after him!
Silverstone 2023 was my first live experience of racing, and I saw Ollie pull off quite a move into Stowe corner in the F2 sprint race. In the wet too. Wishing him all the best this season.
He reminds me of Charles a lot in terms. I started supporting him when he was in f3, like Charles, and he’s a Ferrari driver and I’ve been a life long Ferrari fan. So I hope he follows his path and he gets into haas for the 2025 season. Then once Lewis leaves Ferrari Ollie will have a few years experience in a lower team and can make an easy transition to Ferrari.
Love this content Tommo. Though I feel you missed an opportunity to do this with Minton.😂 Get Ollie's dogs out and start the perfect F1 Video Series where you interview Drivers and Dogs. Tommo presents Drivers and Dogs 🐕! (Brought to you by SquareSpace!) 😂
I see such a bright future for Ollie. Particularly one where he’s holding a trophy on a podium with red all around him 🏎️🏆 I’ll be cheering for you this season, OL! No matter how near or far your races are 🫂
Awesome interview and just nice to hear Ollie's thoughts on the challenges between F2 and the F1 sessions. I hope he can give us a good showing for the 2024 F2 season 🙏🏽
Can’t say I’ve followed the junior formulas very closely, but after this Ollie definitely has a new fan and I’ll be watching F2 more closely. Best of luck this season Ollie! 🏎
Lol he said he’s ashamed of Chelmsford in a previous interview and now affects an rp and Italian accent as his agent said corporate sponsors won’t touch him with an Essex accent
Whoa whoa whoa, lec dominated in his first year of F2 and won Baku days after his dad's passing, which imo is far more impressive than a grand slam.. kid is great, but tone the glazing on Bearman
Very glad for him that Steiner is gone, so if he wins F2 in his second year and then goes to Haas thanks to Ferrari ties then he won’t have his career ruined. I think a top 3 and he’ll go, but I wouldn’t be surprised and would be happy for him if he wins F2 this year

And now he's confirmed at Haas for 2025. GGs boyo.
He has faced a lot of critisism but hopefully he can prove them wrong
blud just finished his first f1 race in the rain
Well damn this aged absolutely spectacularly

With him even talking about the Chance of a one of
I knew it all along.
The fact that he is only 18 is crazy. Hope that he can drive for Ferrari one day
Mature beyond his years.
@@TommoMcCluskey bro got more chance of having his debut with Ferrari, Of course that being if he keeps up the good form
Hope Ferrari are a team worth joining by the time he's ready.
he deserves better than ferrari, honestly
@@heli0s101XD I came here to say that's a rough curse to wish on someone
the only acceptable british bias, absolutely excited to see ollie in f2 next year!
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'm excited to see him in F1 this weekend.
Bearman vs antonelli is going to be so interesting to see!
BIG
Absolutely! I've been following them seperately and now they're on the same team god i'm so excitedd!!!
@@Fbbetull yeah me too! I hope Bearman makes less mistakes this year though so that the fight is as close as it can be

Well RUclips recommendations are very timely
❤
Nice, Tommo! Way to go with this interview. He's a real up-and-coming prospect.
Glad you liked it Joe!
Leclerc & Bearman at Ferrari would be WILD for 2026. Great interview!
Welp it didn't aged well, specially hamilton join ferrari in 2025 with charles leclerc
@@flynnrod1268 Yes, but what about Leclerc and Bearman for Ferrari in 2024?
@@isaacstevens5415lol- what about Sainz?
30:05 Can't wait for the 2027 Bearman Vs Alonso title fight
😂
He’s defo got the Italian 🇮🇹 accent 😂
The Essex/Modena twang is glorious hahaha
He sounds a biiit like Leclerc, maybe I’m deaf
@@TommoMcCluskeyas a guy from just outside Chelmsford I could tell immediately he had the up and down of Italian

Thanks Kira, glad you enjoyed it. He's a good lad, no question. 🙌
LETS GO TOMMO! Love to see this kind of stuff from you! 2024 is going to be a good one.
Glad you enjoyed it!

It's nice to see you talking with the F2 2024 Champion😁
👀
Kimi Antonelli you mean 😎
Kimi says hello👀
I've got high hope for the kid. Hopefully he'll get into F1 next year. Btw, this is such a good interview, tommo. keep up the good work
Thank you Cheik!
great stuff, mate. Can tell he is super nervous but these sorts of chats are only going to help prepare him for the future.
Up the Essex boys
So Tommo, are we getting Ollie back on after his glorious F1 debut?
Can’t wait to see him and Antonelli together this season 🔥
The part about his dad asking if he would just play football or something cheaper is so humanizing. Amazing interview
Watching this as his debut is confirmed>>>
Love the F2 content!
Happy to hear Matias!
OH MY GOD. What a good surprise. I will take my place early before he becomes a successful F1 driver. Tbh, I am watching him since his F3 season
Hope you liked it!
Lovely chap this young man. Thank you for introducing him to us, already a fan.
Awesome vid tommo! Loved watching Ollie in f2 last year and cant wait to see how he progresses in the future. sounds super mature for an 18 yo
Cheers Park! Old head on young shoulders for sure.
what a wild accent!
That was great, Mr. Bearman. I’m on fire! I don’t wish you anything, because you’ll run it.
He reminds me of Charles a lot in terms. I started supporting him when he was in f3, like Charles, and he’s a Ferrari driver and I’ve been a life long Ferrari fan.

been watching him since f4, genuinely knew he was gonna be a big talent from the first race i watched of his
Thank you so much for this Tommo!!! Absolute love this interview 🤩
Much appreciated! 🙌
Cant wait to see what he does in F1 in his short time
Love this content Tommo. Though I feel you missed an opportunity to do this with Minton.😂
Get Ollie's dogs out and start the perfect F1 Video Series where you interview Drivers and Dogs.

Hahahaha! Not a terrible idea tbh 👀
Great young man
Can’t wait to watch F2 and root for Ollie! Great interview
I see such a bright future for Ollie. Particularly one where he’s holding a trophy on a podium with red all around him 🏎️🏆
I’ll be cheering for you this season, OL! No matter how near or far your races are 🫂
this guy is 2 years younger then me. i cant even legally drive on the ROAD let alone on a racetrack
Great interview, Ol grew into the convo as it went on and has a very mature head on his shoulders for only 18. Great work Tommo
It's kinda insane to see people my age achieve so much already, hopes he does well this year in F2
3 camera angles and great sound quality and not in a studio - I'm super pressed!
He is amazing. I am really excited to see all his achievements. Let's keep fighting Ollie! @Ollie_Bearman
Thank you for this! I really needed it..
Major congratulations to Ollie!!!!!
What a legend... well, both of them are tbh
Awesome interview and just nice to hear Ollie's thoughts on the challenges between F2 and the F1 sessions. I hope he can give us a good showing for the 2024 F2 season 🙏🏽
What a timing 😂
F1 in 2027:
The lion vs The bear
Max vs Bearman
The Bull vs The horse
Redbull vs Ferrari
Up and coming!!
Great interview and I love that you give the lesser known ones a chance to shine ☺️
Can’t say I’ve followed the junior formulas very closely, but after this Ollie definitely has a new fan and I’ll be watching F2 more closely. Best of luck this season Ollie! 🏎
glad that ollie can race in jeddah
Tommo your in the big leagues now mate
🫡
Hopefully I get to see him somewhere on the paddock at the Singapore GP this year!
I like Ollie, he seems like a great guy, cant want to see him in Haas next year...... He does say "um" a lot.
Good timing! He’s gonna be racing in F1 for Carlos :)
this is sick tommo! loving the quality of these videos man
Thank you Raffza!
An interview with my favourite driver, love it mate
🙌
Chelmsford rep!!
Ollie ❤❤❤
Love to maybe see some extra f2 coverage this year considering the amount of exciting talent now
You've been stepping up the content man, much respect from switzerland🤙🔥
Appreciate it Rafe!
Hes getting his chance right now.
Love this type of content!
such a good interview!! keep killing it Tommo and Ollie :)
Glad you liked it Kiara!
Big up Chelmo! Acanteen is a classsssssic
Great interview!
amazing lad 🎉, God bless ❤
Lets go! Tommo vid staring a up and coming f1 driver? Yes please!
Great guest!!
He definitely sounded less Italian at the end of this interview!
fellow chelmsfordian here, happy our chelmsfordians are getting some representation lmao
🫡
Lol he said he’s ashamed of Chelmsford in a previous interview and now affects an rp and Italian accent as his agent said corporate sponsors won’t touch him with an Essex accent
bro is from chelmsford thank god he made it out 🙏🙏😭
Interview skills are top notch Tommo, don't change anything.
I appreciate that Mark 🙌
👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Rio/Brazil!
he is so hansomee😩
Ferrari has a lot of good junior drivers today Ollie, Dino and Tuukka
Got to support a local boy
I very wanna see him in f1
he sounds like a mix of south african and italian
Do Dino Beganovic if you can get a hold of him!🙏🏻
❤
HUGE!
Gorgeous
Who is here after the announcement ?
Amazing content
Who’s here after his F1 debut ??
(he was bloody amazing)
Why does Ollie sound so South African
He lives in Italy and mostly speaks to people with strong Italian accents. It has rubbed off on him, evidently.
Essex + Modena = South Africa
@@GBGB000Italians speak Italian in Italian not English accents. He changed his accent as he was told his original one was too ‘common’
Great interview, now I want pizza
Oll ❤🙌
Nice,
I have a question What do you think of Mexico when you visit it?
Us Chelmo folk gotta stick together
Let’s see who is here after Saudi?
Whoa whoa whoa, lec dominated in his first year of F2 and won Baku days after his dad's passing, which imo is far more impressive than a grand slam.. kid is great, but tone the glazing on Bearman
Hey Bubi you need a red stripe instead of the black one 👍
Very glad for him that Steiner is gone, so if he wins F2 in his second year and then goes to Haas thanks to Ferrari ties then he won’t have his career ruined.
I think a top 3 and he’ll go, but I wouldn’t be surprised and would be happy for him if he wins F2 this year
EL TOMMO!
This kid is the youngest in charge
Been saying that since his Baku domination, then his Saudi pole but it’s gone for a good reason now
