Named by Charles Leclerc as someone he'd expected to go to F1 while racing in karts, Dennis Olsen's exploits in sportscars have put him in contention for a Porsche factory role. 📝 james_newbold spoke to the DTM race winner ⬇️

“Coming into the season when I got to know that it was Laurens that was my team-mate, I thought to myself ‘it’s going to be extremely hard, I have to really deliver here’ because I know how good Laurens is on so many topics,” he says. “Definitely this was something that I had to keep in mind and prepare myself for. Coming into the DTM season, I was somehow a bit of an underdog.”
“One of the biggest challenges with DTM is you don’t have much running time before qualifying, and qualifying is where it really counts,” he says. “For sure it impacted the team quite a lot and the preparations are more limited then. Although SSR’s arrangement with Bernhard in 2022 didn’t stretch to exchanging set-up information, the two camps shared data and video which gave Olsen an insight into what Preining - his other immediate benchmark - was doing. The Austrian ended up as the best-placed Porsche in the standings and added a second win at the Red Bull Ring, but Olsen proved that there was no gulf in class between Porsche works and contracted drivers.
“At the end it’s racing and it happens unfortunately sometimes,” he says, “but it wasn’t the way we wanted to finish the season for sure.” In that clear declaration of intent he sounds similar to Ferrari F1 talisman Leclerc, with whom he “had a lot of nice and hard fights at the karting track and in single-seaters”.
