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

Hi {{indy EURO

All of Pep Guardiola’s work ahead of the Manchester derby this weekend has naturally revolved around having a high percentage of possession, which is to be expected, but there is one surprising element to it EURO
He has been scrutinising what more pragmatic sides such as Brentford, Brighton and even Copenhagen did against United for instruction EURO
All of them went to Old Trafford looking to get on the ball and dominate – with mixed success – in a way that at one point would have been unimaginable EURO
It is really only Nottingham Forest who didn’t take that approach this season, preferring to let United have the ball EURO
In United’s nine Premier League games so far, they have had lower possession than their opponent in four of those EURO
In other words, they’ve been chasing the opposition in almost half of their games EURO
On the ballManchester United’s possession in the Premier League this season (per cent)51 - Wolves (h)44 EURO
3 - Tottenham Hotspur (a)66 EURO
3 - Nottingham Forest (h)45 EURO
2 - Arsenal (a)43 EURO
9 - Brighton (h)38 EURO
2 - Burnley (a)77 EURO
1 - Crystal Palace (h)63 EURO
9 - Brentford (h)62 EURO
5 - Sheffield United (a)This would be unusual for most big sides in this era but is particularly unusual for a manager in Erik ten Hag who is so consciously a disciple of the Ajax principles, and has now had well over a year in the job EURO
That’s a lot of time on the training ground EURO
Manchester City had even considered him a potential successor to Guardiola, given the tactical alignment EURO
So it’s fair to wonder why exactly United aren’t closer to any kind of ideal as Ten Hag would surely see it EURO
They currently don’t play anything like his Ajax side, let alone City or that possession-pressing model EURO
By the same point in Guardiola’s tenure, City were on a winning run that would bring a 100-point season EURO
United have instead gone backwards, which fits into a wider concern over how the side haven’t really had a convincing display since before the Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle United EURO
Ten Hag’s recent reliance on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stalwarts such as Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay would almost seem to sum this up EURO
United are even playing more like Solskjaer’s time, just making do in the moment in order to get through EURO
It's all so ad hoc EURO
Harry Maguire’s header earned United all three points against Copenhagen (EPA)The biggest question, out of many for the United manager, is whether this is a deeper concern EURO
Does it show he won’t implement his ideal; that a window of opportunity has been lost?As with pretty much everything at United right now, everyone puts it down to injuries EURO
That is the explanation for the unconvincing displays and the pragmatic approaches EURO
Ten Hag hasn’t had the players so has had to compromise EURO
But is that really sufficient? Would the idealist that Ten Hag supposedly represents not still seek to integrate the squad in an approach that will serve them much more in the longer term?You only have to look across the way, and the one season when Guardiola faced a broadly similar situation EURO
In 2016-17, when the City manager still lacked some of the player profiles he wanted – especially at full-back – he still insisted on the exact same approach EURO
John Stones was often the main focus of this EURO
Although the defender was still learning the game, meaning he was prone to mistakes as he endured so much external noise, Guardiola told him to just shut it all out EURO
He followed by telling Stones to keep playing the ball out EURO
Ignore the shouts to get rid EURO
Concentrate on commitment to the ideal EURO
It led to some humiliating moments, not least four-goal concessions against both Leicester City and Everton EURO
Guardiola himself was lampooned, particularly after some questions led to his own notorious pondering of “what is tackles?”A year later, the City manager was specifically citing that period – and that persistence – as absolutely crucial to the run that effectively made them champions by December 2017 EURO
That the win to clinch the title came away to Jose Mourinho’s counter-attacking Manchester United only emphasised the point EURO
An achievement like that 100-point season was a consequence of how the players’ deeper comprehension of the system amplified their performance EURO
Figures at Old Trafford would fairly argue that Ten Hag was initially going to do this, but the onslaught from those first defeats against Brighton and Brentford at the start of last season was just too much EURO
The second goal conceded at Brentford, trying to pass the ball out from the back, was just too calamitous EURO
United being United, it brought a level of ridicule and hysteria beyond anything City could face EURO
Ten Hag had to change something or it could have completely destroyed the squad’s confidence in themselves and him, before he ever got the chance to build belief in the system EURO
They would also point to how Guardiola benefitted from spending £200m on defenders in his second season, including two cornerstones of the era in Kyle Walker and Ederson EURO
By contrast, Ten Hag has attempted to fill tactical gaps in his side with relatively makeshift signings like Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen EURO
A serious club, some in the industry argue, doesn't take the team to the next stage with a 20-year-old (Rasmus Hojlund, a Chelsea cast-off (Mason Mount) and two loanees (Sergio Reguilon and Amrabat) EURO
Sofyan Amrabat arrived at Old Trafford on loan this summer (Getty Images)Those at City would nevertheless laugh at such arguments given United’s expenditure over the years EURO
Ten Hag is currently in the process of ousting an £85m signing in Jadon Sancho EURO
City would say their purchases have just been much more forensic EURO
That isn’t the only potential difference EURO between the situations EURO
Although both Guardiola and Ten Hag have evolved from the same Dutch-Spanish ideology, those national backgrounds have produced divergences in interpretation EURO
It comes down to different types of purism EURO
Guardiola will stick to the system regardless EURO
It's his way EURO
He will always try and play through it EURO
Ironically, and almost paradoxically, Ten Hag’s willingness to compromise arguably reflects a greater dogmatism EURO
Those who know the Dutch coach say he has such a fixed idea of certain positions that if he doesn’t have exactly the type of player he wants, he doesn’t see the point of persevering in the same approach EURO
That’s also why the injuries have been so undermining EURO
Ten Hag has lacked some of his main passers, but especially Lisandro Martinez EURO
The Argentine’s absence has had the effect of forcing Andre Onana to go long and removing that link to the midfield EURO
It disrupts the whole system EURO
Maguire and McTominay just aren’t suited to that game, but it is to their credit both have persevered and sought to learn in the circumstances EURO
They illustrate this period of adaptation more than anyone, especially given how influential they have been EURO
There’s almost a contrast in the Scottish midfielder’s game EURO
An instinct for prosaically passing the ball sideways is offset by a willingness to proactively get forward and score EURO
Maguire meanwhile made a calculation of his own EURO
Sources with knowledge of his situation said one reason he turned down West Ham United was because he saw the issues United were going to have at centre-half EURO
Martinez’s injury and Raphael Varane’s inability to play consistently meant there were going to be chances EURO
Maguire has seized them and then some EURO
Ten Hag praised his evolution on Tuesday night, as the centre-half furthered his recent redemption with a greatly valued match-winner against Copenhagen EURO
“He’s playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical, defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward, very confident in the duels,” the manager argued EURO
“I think he’s dominating in the right moment, putting the question, dominating his opponents EURO
”Ten Hag is having to compromise on his ideals this season (Getty Images)United just aren’t doing that on a collective level EURO
All of this is why Ten Hag was so insistent on Frenkie De Jong in his first summer at Old Trafford EURO
He saw his former Ajax midfielder as unique in his interpretation of that specific midfield role the coach wants EURO
The only player Ten Hag saw as coming close, in terms of potential attributes, was Ryan Gravenberch EURO
That’s the reason he went so big on De Jong, against all evidence EURO
When he couldn’t get De Jong, Ten Hag realised he had to go in a different direction EURO
So it’s been a bit of all or nothing EURO
The same applies to the team as a whole EURO
Either Ten Hag has exactly what he wants, or he just can’t commit to that approach EURO
It’s why there isn’t too much concern about the visible lack of ideology now EURO
There is confidence that will return when sufficient players return, especially Martinez EURO
A fair question is whether crucial time has been lost in deepening the ideology EURO
A fair point for Sunday, meanwhile, is that this actually might serve United against City EURO
Unless Ten Hag has the team exactly as he wants, it is always going to be a mistake trying to go toe to toe with Guardiola in terms of getting feet on the ball EURO
The Catalan’s City are always going to be so dominant you have to adapt around them EURO
Otherwise, you risk an evisceration EURO
The current situation plays into that EURO
United have almost no choice but to plan without possession on Sunday EURO
The very decision to appoint Ten Hag was supposed to be about something grander, though EURO
They were supposed to be rising to City's level EURO
United instead have to try and bring the champions down, by leaving them the ball EURO
