Ollie Hancock is targeting a return to the FIA Formula Two Championship in 2010 as he looks to build upon a promising set of performances at the final three rounds of last season.

The 22-year-old took a remarkable top ten finish on his F2 debut in Oschersleben, Germany, last September. After a part season in the F1 feeder series during 2009, Hancock is now preparing for a full championship assault this coming season.

"I want to come back to F2 for a title attack," said Hancock, "it is the title or nothing for me this year. This is the logical step for me as it gives me a chance to reach Formula One. Soucek made it possible and I'm only out to do the same, nothing less.

"I learnt a lot last year - I got quicker every time I got in the car and I ended up with good pace during the final round in Barcelona. I learnt how to set the car up to suit my style and I just trusted my instincts rather than using someone else's set-up, which worked much better for me."

Hancock said he is '100% committed to returning to F2' this season and says that the unfair playing field of comparable championships has left him in no doubt as to where he wants to race in 2010.

"Look at Soucek - he pretty much blew everyone away in F2 last year in equal equipment and he then performed really well when testing in F1," noted Ollie. "He didn't have that opportunity when he was in GP2 because if you're not running with one of the top teams then you don't have a chance - it's as simple as that. It is the same problem in Formula Renault 3.5, but in F2 everything is equal and that is great."

Whilst the young Briton has not yet secured a drive in the 2010 FIA Formula Two Championship line-up, the former Formula Renault 2.0 UK BARC champion is confident of being on the grid for the opening rounds at Silverstone on 17/18 April.

"It is a realistic budget," he concluded. "F2 has a huge appeal to the outside public and that really helps to raise awareness and ultimately backing. Many drivers are struggling to find the budget for this season but I have several leads and many people are interested so we will see what happens - I am really hopeful."
