Verstappen wants 'Ferrari dream', but only under one clear condition

Ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen explained that if he ends up driving for Ferrari one day, there will be a certain reason for that.

Ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, he declared that he will remain with Red Bull Racing for the 2026 season. Many drivers dream of becoming a Ferrari driver one day in Formula 1, with the Italians being the most successful team in the competition's history.  

The iconic Italians boast 248 victories, but the Dutchman believes just driving for the team is not enough.

"I think Ferrari is a massive brand, and of course all the drivers, they see and they picture themselves of, ‘I would like to drive for Ferrari,’ but I think that's also where the mistake comes, just to drive for Ferrari," he told GPblog.

"If you want to drive for Ferrari, you want to win. So if I would ever want to go there, I don't go there just to drive for Ferrari, I go there because I see the opportunity to win. And if you win with Ferrari, that's even better."

Bearman still nurtures his dream as he discusses potential year for Ferrari move

Bearman is coming off a strong result in the Netherlands, after he finished in sixth position, aided by retirements from cars ahead of him.

It was his best result in F1 to date, and the first time he had finished inside the Top 10 in a race since the weekend in Bahrain.

He now has 16 points in the standings, trailing teammate Esteban Ocon by 12 with nine races still to go.

The Briton could already sit in a Ferrari in 2024, making his debut with the team in Jeddah after Carlos Sainz was ruled out with appendicitis.

For the rookie, the goal remains clear: to earn the Scuderia's trust and one day secure a seat at Maranello.

The Briton is fully aware that there’s currently no room, with two top-tier drivers—Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton—ahead of him, but his dream of joining the Scuderia remains alive.
