Jules Bianchi with Ferrari, it becomes clearer. If the Frenchman must achieve Formula 1 In the near future, there is no doubt that Ferrari has taken the initiative to secure his services. With an Italian-sounding name, the young driver will fit perfectly into the Ferrari landscape at the beginning of December in Jerez.

The Scuderia has in fact called four drivers for the F1 tests reserved for young drivers. Besides Daniel Zampieri, Marco Ziori and Pablo Sanchez Lopez, the name of Jules Bianchi is the most “prestigious”.

« I think I will only truly realize it the day I slip into the seat of the Ferrari, recognizes Jules. Ferrari is the team I dreamed of approaching when I was a child. But I keep a cool head; I know that this is only a step and that the road will still be long to achieve the career objectives that we have set for ourselves with my manager, Nicolas Todt. In 2010, once the regular season starts, my priority will remain GP2 with ART Grand Prix. »

The grandson of Mauro Bianchi and great-nephew of Lucien Bianchi had the opportunity to meet the Ferrari staff earlier in the season. It was at Spa-Francorchamps, during the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix. Nicolas Todt, his agent but also that of Felipe Massa, introduced him to Stefano Domenicali and the Scuderia staff.

Since then, Jules Bianchi has won the title of champion in Formula 3 Euro Series, was able to test in GP2, and earned his place in GP2 Series.
