BRITISH teenager Oliver Bearman has joined the Ferrari young driver academy after winning the Italian AND German Formula 4 titles this season. Bearman, who impressed at Ferrari’s scouting world finals at Maranello last month, said: “I am really happy to have been selected to join the Ferrari Driver Academy. Bearman took the ADAC Formula 4 title in Germany last weekend finishing 26 points clear of second place. He had earlier sealed the Italian F4 title with 11 wins including a seven-in-a-row sequence across Misano, Vallelunga and Imola. They dominated the early 2000s when the legendary Schumacher claimed five consecutive titles from 2000 to 2005.
