PARIS -- Formula One newcomer Esteban Ocon has spoken of his desire to drive for Ferrari in the future, saying it would fulfill a dream of emulating childhood idol Michael Schumacher.The 19-year-old Frenchman is early into his F1 career and competing for the Manor team, which recently drafted him in after terminating the contract of Indonesian driver Rio Haryanto.Sundays Italian GP in Monza -- where the seven-time F1 champion Schumacher won 10 years ago -- was just Ocons second F1 race. He came 18th.Ocon has been touted as a future star after winning the European Formula 3 championship in 2014 and last years GP3 series.Speaking to former Ferrari driver Jean Alesi in an interview with Canal Plus television Sunday, Ocon spoke of his burning ambition to join Ferrari one day.I hope so. Its always been my dream, honestly ... Ever since I was little, when I had a Schumacher cap and the Ferrari clothes, Ocon said. When I won my first title in France (as a junior) I was wearing the Ferrari racing suit.Ocon had a brief taste of life at Ferrari when, two years ago, the Italian team gave him a test run in its F1 car following his F3 championship win.Its my dream, obviously, to join them one day, said Ocon, who won French karting titles in several age groups as a junior. You can really feel the history here.Ocon finished 16th on his F1 debut at the Belgian GP one week ago, and admits to finding it tough playing catch-up late into the season.Its not easy coming in after 12 Grand Prix, he told Canal Plus. The important thing is not to make mistakes.With veterans like Jenson Button and Felipe Massa on the verge of retirement, young drivers like 18-year-old star Max Verstappen, Ocon and 24-year-old Belgian driver Stoffel Vandoorne are seen as the sports future stars.Verstappen has already made history -- as both the youngest to win an F1 race and the youngest to qualify on the front row of the grid -- and he is electrifyingly quick.But Ocon has strong credentials.When he won the F3 championship, Verstappen finished behind him in third place. Toto Wolff, the head of motorsport for Mercedes, has spoken highly of Ocon and other teams have also been keen to test him out.He took part in the first practice of the Abu Dhabi GP in November 2014 for the Lotus F1 team -- which is now Renault -- and also did some post-race testing with Force India. Prior to joining Manor, he was Renaults designated reserve driver this year and also raced for Mercedes in Germanys DTM touring car championship.Although some drivers arrive with massive financial backing furthering their bid to get a seat, Ocon has no bitterness toward them.A lot of drivers arrive because they pay, but theyre good as well. Obviously, because otherwise it wouldnt work out, he said. There are others who arrive, like me, who didnt pay for their (place); or other very good ones, like Stoffel.Vandoorne will race for McLaren next season, offering up a potentially thrilling contest between three of F1s brightest talents.

BALTIMORE -- The prolific scoring combination of Flacco to Pitta is back, just in time for the Baltimore Ravens playoff push.Joe Flacco connected with Dennis Pitta nine times for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens 38-6 rout of the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.The loss ended Miamis six-game winning streak and put the Dolphins in bounce-back mode headed into the final four weeks of the season.Pitta scored seven touchdowns on passes from Flacco in 2012 and added another in the Super Bowl. They teamed for another score late in 2013 after Pitta returned from hip surgery.But Pitta fractured his hip for a second time early in the 2014 season, and although he entered Sundays game as Baltimores leading receiver, he hadnt reached the end zone.A 13-yard strike over the middle from Flacco produced Pittas first touchdown since Dec. 8, 2013. An 8-yarder just under 10 minutes later made it a two-touchdown delight for the seventh-year pro.I guess it was nice to get in the end zone today, Flacco said wryly, with his tight end standing just a few feet away.It has been a long road back for Pitta, whose second hip injury left many wondering if he would retire.I dont know what hes been through, Flacco said. Hes the only person that really, really knows what hes been through.Pitta, who leads the team with 61 catches, said, Yes, I had a couple touchdowns today, but I feel like I have been producing all year. I dont think after a game like this, I say, `Oh, Im back. I feel like I have been back since Week 1.What we learned from the Ravens big win over the Dolphins:LEARNING FROM LOSING: After having their winning streak snapped, the Dolphins (7-5) are determined not to start a run in the other direction.You never want to lose, obviously, but this could be a good thing for us in the long run, safety Michael Thomas said. They came out ready to play and really took is to us. You cant wait until halftime to decide to play harder. ... We need to learn from this game and get better.Coach Adam Gase told his players they have to go back to work so that one loss cant become two.KEY TAKEAWAYS: The Ravens (7-5) had three interceptions for the second time this season. Safeties Lardarius Webb and Eric Weddle each snagged a pass deep in Ravens territory to prevent scores.It was huge, Weddle said of Weebbs end-zone interception in the second quarter.dddddddddddd. It took points off the board and gives him some confidence.Cornerback Jerraud Powers also got in on the fun, intercepting Ryan Tannehill in the fourth quarter.Aside from the play of the secondary, the Ravens defensive front got after Tannehill, sacking him twice and forcing poor decisions.THIRD-DOWN STOPS: Baltimore converted 5 of 11 third-down opportunities (45 percent), a scenario that not only kept their drives alive but took a toll on the Dolphins physically.We couldnt get off the field on third downs, Miami safety Bacarri Rambo. Thats basically it. Once you do that, youre going to continue to keep us on the field. We have to come together as a defense and just do better this coming week.Thomas added, We have to find a way to get off the field. All season long weve been good on third-down situations, but today we struggled.HOLD THE LINE: Flacco was able to stay upright nearly the entire game, thanks to a noteworthy performance by the offensive line. The Dolphins failed to get a sack against the Ravens front, which was all according to the plan.We knew going in we had to control the front, we had to control the ends. Our offensive line did that, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. Thats quite a statement. It was a statement that Dolphins star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh echoed.Their offensive line did a great job against us, said Suh, who combined on two tackles.AVOID SELF-DESTRUCTION: The Dolphins entered Ravens territory three times in the first half, but were unable to score.We did some things on offense that shot us in the foot, running back Jay Ajayi said. We had great field position in the first half. We had the ball in their territory and we didnt get any points. Thats the name of the game: Youve got to score.Tannehills three interceptions crippled the Dolphins chances of mounting a comeback.Overall I just have to take care of the ball better and keep us in position to score, he said. We moved the ball well. We just didnt take advantage of opportunities once we got down in the red zone.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
