Ollie Bearman and his girlfriend break into tears in emotional scenes after stunning finish at Mexico Grand Prix
He had everyone welling up
OLLIE BEARMAN pulled on heartstrings as he got emotional after seeing his girlfriend in tears.
The Essex-born 20-year-old secured a jaw-dropping fourth at the Mexican Grand Prix for Haas, which was a career best-ever finish.
His girlfriend, Alicia Torriani was seen crying tears of joy with Bearman’s dad after the Grand Prix as the rookie gave his post-race interview.
Bearman’s dad David was seen embracing Torriani as she was overcome with emotion.
This moved the Haas driver who teared up during the interview in the media pen at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
After seeing his girlfriend in tears, Bearman said: “‘I wanted to battle with Max someday, but I didn’t think it would come that soon, so I am happy!”
The Brit even found himself in P3 for most of the race, having started all the way back in ninth.
He was eventually passed by none other than four-time world champion Max Verstappen for P3.
Bearman added: “Definitely a crazy race. I’m a bit lost for words – at one point we were looking at the podium.
“I was bringing it home with a lot of nerves. At the end, P4 is a great result and we got both cars in the points.
“We really needed that good result, so I’m really, really happy. It was a crazy race. Good lap one – stayed out of trouble, just about.

“Then the incident with Max and Lewis [Hamilton] – I managed to benefit from that as well.”
Just two years ago, Bearman was in his debut season in F2.
He made history in that campaign as he became the first driver in the history of the category to top every practice session and win the feature race at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
In his first full campaign as a Formula One driver, he has finished in the top 10 a whopping seven times.
Oliver Bearman experienced a moment that went far beyond pure sporting achievement: after securing a surprising fourth place at the Mexican Grand Prix, the young Haas driver was unable to hold back tears during a live television interview. With his father and girlfriend, Alicia Torriani, standing behind him, Oliver Bearman could not continue the interview for ViaPlay.
Bearman’s words in Mexico are full of emotion
During the interview, Oliver Bearman had to pause. With a trembling voice, he said, “It’s really special. You didn’t need to show me, now I’m emotional!”
Thanks to him, Haas achieves its best-ever result
The result in Mexico represents the best finish Haas has ever achieved in Formula 1, and it came well-earned: starting from ninth, Ollie Bearman expertly seized opportunities created by the battles of other drivers and managed his tires with remarkable intelligence. After the race, he highlighted the importance of the weekend in an interview with motorsport.com

“We also had the pace to stay there during the race. George Russell and Oscar Piastri couldn’t overtake me, so we did something right on track as well. I’m very happy with my qualifying lap—it’s one I’m particularly proud of, and it paid off in the race. At one point, with that medium tire strategy, the plan was to go all the way to the end, but then I received the last-minute instruction to pit. I think, from our position, it would have been a bit risky to stay out and aim for the podium, with the risk of finishing sixth or seventh. I believe we made the right choice, even if it perhaps took away the chance to fight for the podium. But finishing fourth is positive.” – the Ferrari junior concluded at the end of the Mexican Grand Prix.
