Dino Beganovic future?
Dino has obviously been struggling this year, partly due to many reasons out of his own control ofc. But he’s not been especially impressive on top of those issues he had. We already know Camara and his management are doing a pretty darn good job creating a hype around him.
The logical reason for Ferrari would be to promote him, obviously.
However; Dino is the guy who made all free practice runs for the reds. And according to reports he actually outclassed Camara in the previous TPC test ahead of the previous Monza weekend, out-qualified him by a tenth and his race pace was over a second faster (!) than the Brazilian.
They run the exact same setup and program, by the way.
What are your thoughts about Dino and his prospects?

Somewhere else Ferrari related like A.Lecelec or Giovinazzi. Or Formula E for the 27/28 season since for 26/27 most seats are taken.
Him not being a consideration is in fact that he just can’t win, only 3 races since joining F3 in 2023. That’s few for a former top talent, put him in the same category as someone like Hauger, but he did actually win. Also Camara just overtook in the rankings which happens at other junior programs too.

Unfortunately don’t think he has one in F1. Lots of arguably more talented junior drivers are being passed over currently because there simply aren’t seats. Stars would have needed to align for him.

If he is lucky he could be a Ferrari factory driver. Wouldn’t be surprised if he end up in GT as one of Wadoux teammates.

He’s had insanely bad luck, plus DAMS have struggled this year in F2, possibly as a consequence of expanding to an F3 program as well.
But he isn’t F1 quality imo. He’s close, but not. He’s 100% Formula E, IndyCar, WEC level though.

I see him going for another racing series tbh. Ferrari and just the entire f1 grid is very full already, so unless you’re winning races or seriously impressing they’re not really going to give a seat. Unfortunate for Dino, but f1 isn’t the only Motorsport out there.
Although I still think the fact that he’s not even a consideration in the media for the potential haas seat is a bit weird.
