## Career
### Karting

Ahead of 2020, it was announced that Olivieri would step up to WSK-organized championships. In his first full year in WSK championships, he finished seventh in the WSK Open Cup and eighth in the 25th edition of Trofeo Ayrton Senna.
In 2021, Olivieri won the Trofeo Andrea Margutti in 60 Mini, finished runner-up in WSK Champions Cup and WSK Super Master Series and placed third in WSK Euro Series.
Stepping up to OKJ for 2022, Olivieri had a difficult year, but won the WSK Final Cup towards the end of the year. Moving to OK in 2023, Olivieri finished fifth in the South Garda Winter Cup and eighth in the WSK Champions Cup before joining Birel ART ahead of the final round of the Champions of the Future series.
Near the end of his karting career, Olivieri attended the Ferrari Driver Academy scout camp and the Richard Mille Young Talent Academy shootout, while also winning the 20° Supercorso Federale after impressing in the FDA scout camp.

### Formula 4
#### 2024

In early 2024, AKM Motorsport announced that Olivieri would compete in the Formula Winter Series, Italian F4 Championship and Euro 4 championships. In Formula Winter Series, Olivieri competed in the first two rounds, scoring points with a ninth place in the third Valencia race, ending the season 28th in the standings.
In Italian F4, Olivieri capitalised on post-race penalties to score points in the first two races at Imola and the first Vallelunga race. After not scoring points at Mugello, Olivieri stayed out of trouble in a wet-dry race three at Paul Ricard to take sixth place. He ended the season 17th in the standings on 11 points.
Competing in the Italian rounds of the Euro 4 Championship, Olivieri finished seventh in the second Monza race, but he would be relegated to 17th post-race after being given a 25-second penalty for contact with Davide Larini. In the following race, he finished tenth on track but would be promoted to ninth after post-race penalties. Olivieri finished 19th in the standings with two points.

#### 2025

After testing with them in Italian F4's post-season tests, Olivieri joined R-ace GP to compete in the 2025 F4 Middle East Championship.
In the first qualifying session of the season at Yas Marina, Olivieri took his first pole in Formula 4 ahead of Alex Powell. In race one, Olivieri took advantage of Powell's car hitting trouble to lead all laps en route to his maiden win in the championship. From 10th on the grid in race two, Olivieri climbed up to third, narrowly missing out on second as Kean Nakamura-Berta held him off. Starting second for race three, Olivieri took the lead at the start after Powell stalled from pole and held off Nakamura-Berta to take his second win of the season by 0.071 seconds.
In the second round of the season, held at the Corkscrew layout of Yas Marina, Olivieri took both pole positions and grew his points lead by taking his third win of the season in race one. In race two Olivieri charged from 10th place to finish fourth, while in race three, he won from pole by holding off Nakamura-Berta following several safety car restarts.
At Dubai, Olivieri led pre-event testing sessions before taking pole for race one and leading from lights to flag to take his fifth win of the season. Starting 10th in race two, Olivieri charged through the pack to take second place and further extend his championship lead, while in race three he held on to third place after defending from Reno Francot.
In the penultimate round of the season at Abu Dhabi, Olivieri qualified on pole for race one, which he would win on track but would later be penalized for jumping the start, sending him back to third. After suffering a puncture following contact with Oleksandr Bondarev in race two, Olivieri rebounded to end the weekend with a third-place finish, which enabled him to extend his championship lead.
In the season-ending Lusail round, Olivieri finished second on track to Adam Al Azhari in race one, but was promoted to first post-race after Al Azhari was disqualified due to an illegal clutch. In race two, Olivieri wrapped up the title with a race to spare after finishing second to teammate Alex Powell after having started tenth, and in the season-ending race three, Olivieri once again finished runner-up to Powell as the Jamaican climbed up to second in points.
