Esteban Ocon

BWT Alpine F1 Team
France
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ocon returns to Alpine in 2023 after a relatively successful 2022 season. He finished eighth in the standings, equaling his best season performance since his first full-time season in 2017. His average finish in the 22 races was 9.1 despite an average start of 12.0. His best finish came late in the year at Suzuka. Ocon's consistent points finishes along with that fourth-place Suzuka finish late in the season demonstrate Alpine's ability to continue extracting speed throughout the course of the season. A big question for 2023 will be how much of that car development is lost with former champion Fernando Alonso leaving the team. However, a focus for Ocon personally will be improving his single-lap pace in qualifying. Getting more out of qualifying will put him in position for even better results in 2023, and podium finishes should be within reach. Read Past Outlooks
Gearbox Failure
Formula One
September 17, 2023
Ocon suffered a gearbox failure and finished 18th in the Singapore Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Marina Bay Circuit on Sunday evening.
ANALYSIS
Ocon's grand prix would get off to a good start. The Alpine star would race from eighth on the starting grid up to P6 at one point. Ocon would be engaged in a thrilling three-way battle with Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez to climb into that spot. However, on lap 42 Ocon's machine would begin to smoke and stop outside turn 2. The Frenchman would be retired for the day with a suspected gearbox issue. The DNF was an unfortunate result on an evening when Ocon appeared a lock for points.
