Summary
Ollie Bearman - the most over-performing driver this season - joins us in studio to talk about his stellar start to the season with Haas and his 190mph crash which sparked a big safety debate. So what's clicked this season? How has he handled the pressure so well? What safety changes does he want to see? Is taking Lewis Hamilton 's Ferrari seat the endgame? Did he really fail his driving test?! And you won't believe the generous gift he bought his brother for Christmas!
