Ollie Hancock (born 25 August 1987) is a British professional racing driver. He is the son of Anthony Hancock, a competitor in historic racing, and the younger sibling of Sam Hancock, known for sportscar racing.

Formula Ford

Originating from Windsor, Berkshire, Hancock initiated his karting journey at the age of eight but had to interrupt it due to financial limitations. He made his transition to single-seater racing in 2003 by participating in the Classic Formula Ford 2000 winter championship, driving a Van Diemen RF82 and securing the title.

In 2004, Hancock committed to a full season, achieving second place overall with four pole positions, one victory, and ten podium finishes. Due to budget restrictions in 2005, he took on a role as a secondary mechanic at Welch Motorsport within the Formula Renault UK series to deepen his mechanical understanding. Returning to competition in 2006, he again concluded the season as runner-up, obtaining three wins, three poles, and podium finishes in every event.

Formula Renault

In 2007, Hancock progressed to the Formula Renault BARC series with Mark Burdett Motorsport. He ended the season third overall and was recognized as the top rookie, earning two pole positions and securing a win at Silverstone. The following year, he dominated the championship by clinching the title one round before the end. His performance included five victories, three poles, and six fastest laps, with a 44-point margin ahead of Johannes Seidlitz before the final race. That year, he was honored as a Rising Star by the British Racing Drivers' Club.

Although he intended to make his debut in the primary Formula Renault UK at Brands Hatch, he chose instead to concentrate on the 2009 season. Participating in the initial twelve rounds that year, his campaign was limited by financial constraints. His highest finish was fourth place during race two at Donington Park.

Formula Two

Hancock advanced to compete in the FIA Formula Two Championship, beginning at Oschersleben. He took over from the late Henry Surtees, opting to race under car number 44 rather than Surtees' number 7. He completed the season in 25th position without scoring points.
