Esteban Ocon, the long Frenchman, has one of the most impressive foundational stories on the current F1 grid. So today I thought it'd be a nice idea to fully explore his rags to riches story, and approach the sentiment that - a lot of people don't think he's particularly liked within the sport.

He better not get DSQed like seb did or we all will throw hands with the FIA
ESTEGOAT OCON ALLEZZZZZZ
Called it. Such a wholesome win.
ESTEBAAAAAN
He was literally Driving To Survive.
🤣 love this
👏 👏👏
Netflix moment
@@rishav_killerx6011 And they didn’t even notice it
Wow it is very impressive to speak 4 languages without going to school big props to Esteban for that
Does someone know which he speaks?
Learning a language at school doesn't work anyway. The circuit is a way better place to practice your languages. I've learned more French in my 2 years at the Benelux paddock then in school
@@m_ttis French, English, Italian... Idk what the 4th one is.. Maybe German?
I mean, in Europe you turn a corner and there's a whole new country and culture, so I dont think it's that far off
@@m_ttis french, English, Italian and Spanish
I would love a vid about Gio, he is sorta underrated, has a great relationship with Kimi by the looks of it and literally looks like Jesus
Good shout that tbf
ITALIAN JESUS
@@TommoOnRUclips it would be great im really intersted in gio
Save it for easter
@@pavise6333 The resurrection that may not come. The story of Antonio Giovinazzi
Stroll and Ocon get along with each other because Stroll is shitted on daily since he is the "richie" and looks at Ocon as the exact oposite of it, and Ocon looks at Stroll as the guy he wanted to be when he was at karting, rich but humble and friendly, they are the antitesis to one another, yet the hate they got its the most bonding thing a friendship could ask for, fascinating
Damn you could write an essay on their friendship
Yeah but in 2021 mazepin is by far the most hated driver
@@ivnc2438 stroll is been cursed and tyelled at for 5 years, mazepin its been in f1 for what 2 weeks? Stroll got so much hate in the last years, mazepin will need time to surpass it
@Ponfi he is in F1 for 3 months, stroll was hated for 4 years + pressure to perform since he can actually drive well, mazepin has a lot of ground to cover to receive the hate stroll got since 2017
lol and you know this becase...
I’ve always been a huge fan of Ocon and have always wondered why there’s so much hate towards him. This video has only made me a bigger fan somehow. In a world where all of us aren’t blessed with a rich upbringing, I feel it makes him the most relatable driver on the grid
Yh same here i also love him aswell cus he's super tall which makes it probably even more amazing he got in cus he probably weights more than most divers like you dont see many drivers above 5 foot 10 let alone 6ft
Same. I really was a fan of him in 2017-18 and many times he was racing for the top 5 positions. I supported him at the start of 2020, but mid season, I kinda fell off the hype train. When he got his podium, I remembered how much I liked him, how sad everyone was when he had to leave, that everyone saw him at Mercedes and that everyone disliked him now. This video showed me even better why I like him. :)
@Ddhfacetyy His poor english tends to come off as a bit arrogant and he isnt very close to any of the drivers, except for Lance I think, not to mention he has a massive rivalry with one of the most loved drivers on the grid, Gasly, so he doesnt even get all the french fans. I quite like him, but as a driver, seeing him lose consisitently to Riccardo kinda killed alot of the hype for me.
@Ddhfacetyy you dont look at it like that though. BMPH has a video with the time differential to riccardo. its closer then people think
@Ddhfacetyy you said you dont like him tho. so im not gonna argue with someone like you. it literally doesnt matter what i say. a bias is a bias.
perez is 0.656 behind Max. no better than alex (so far)
Ocon is such a humble kid....I wish him the best
He REALLY is.
Underrated still a future Mercedes driver
@@benparry4451 lol no
Y not he was as good as Perez at force India
@@benparry4451 he definitely has a chance
I went to Spa in 2018 where I attended a Q&A session with Esteban. I asked him about his childhood and the journey to Formula 1 (TC's podcast was released couple of months before that so I kinda knew few bits but wanted to find out a bit more). Esteban was very humble and said that he actually doesn't like to talk about his journey and where he came from. I felt bad about asking something he doesn't like to talk about so I apologised to him after the Q&A. He quickly told me not to worry and that everything is okay. Very humble and nice gentleman
The rich kids probably picked on him for being poor, then when he spanked them all on the track, they probably picked on him more to mask their insecurity and massage their wounded egos.
its crazy that with that fact Lance is Ocon's best friend
@@jwork5680 lance might be in F1 because of money but I feel like he's a genuine good guy
@@naveenbattula i agree
@@naveenbattula he is
I actually love their bromance, not as popular or in light as Carlos and Lando but still
honestly, esteban's parents are the true mvps in his story. obviously esteban has to have had a supreme amount of talent to make it this far in his career, but he wouldve never had this opportunity if his parents didnt believe in his talent and dreams.
And now he's a Grand Prix winner
This post aged like fine wine.
Ocons story has always amazed me. I also think it's odd how some of the other drivers talk on how tough it was trying to make it through carting and all that to make it to F1. When you consider that his family was literally homeless Living in a van trying to make it so he could race. Thats true struggle and he truly deserves to be there out of everyone.
Yesss! Where you at fellow Ocon fans. Really happy that you made this video Tommo. Just can't understand the hate some people give Esteban. Seems like a real genuine and humble bloke with a great backstory.
Glad you liked it Areeb!
@purppsyrup which was verstappens fault 😬 he went for the apex with ocon inside him. No matter about being a lap down he’s allowed to unlap himself.
@@jacobsmith385 yeah and verstappen had a win on the line so why defend the position so unnecessary from verstappen
@@jacobsmith385 yh i agree that the crash was Max's fault but also Ocon didn't need to go for the move and it was the most pointless move that just stuffed the race for Max and its not like he would have gained anything from the overtake. Also before you say I'm not an Ocon hater hes actually the driver on the grid I probs have the most respect for really cus of his upgrowing and he is my second favourite driver onley behind Charles for me
Well...it's mostly because of Pierre.
Esteban is so incredibly humble and grateful
when he got his P3 in bahrain outer, he was jumping up and down in interviews with his trophy
I cannot recall a single other driver who has been as happy as that, even just for P3 (still a monumental award, not saying otherwise)
hes grateful and it shows, and he shows almost every weekend his love for the sport
And i think that's highly respectable
Yep! Even better, it was actually P2 on that weekend.
it was acctually p2 but love ur point
That's the thing about Ocon. He is such a humble driver, from a working-class family. And I feel very much related to him, more than any other driver. A year older than me, born in the same month, and had fewer friends. Heck, I can even relate to being an outsider too. My classmates always used to tease me that I can never be a science student and do engineering cause I was an average kid. Now I have a degree in Automobile and aiming for further studies. Just like Ocon, getting in F1
Hope you get in that paddock in a few years time. Good luck 👍🏻
@@motorsportfanboy7769 Hehe, if it's true I hope I am not in Ferrari😂. Thanks Mate🙌
Good luck mate! Related to your feelings
Looking at the stats behind Esteban’s career he appears to be criminally underrated. Beat Verstappen in 2014, comes within 13 points of Perez in 2017 and then dominates Sergio 16-5 in qualifying the next year. When he comes back after a year out of f1 he is put up against one of the best drivers in modern f1 who he slowly gets on pace with throughout the season and manages to score a p2.
He didn't "beat" Verstappen really lol, Ocon was in a top team while Verstappen was in a midfield team with horrible reliablity. Verstappen had 8 DNF's and 1 DNS, but despite that he had the most wins that season(10 wins).
Esteban still underrated now, he's keeping up with, and beating on points, Fernando Alonso. Alonso is easy top 10 all time drivers and Ocon is beating him on points. If he was in the mercedes this year instead of George I think people might start seeing how talented he is
He has proven his worth in today’s GP. Truly a rags to riches story.
Esteban gets so much hate mostly bc of Brazil 2018, but how he got into F1 makes me respect him more than most drivers.
Aye, I think that + Perez rivalry + Gasly fallout have all contributed to him not being seen in the best light.
That crash wasnt actually Ocon's fault. He had the right to unlap himself as he was on faster tyres than Max. Yet Max felt he owned the track only because he was in p1 and proceeded to fully close the door on Esteban even though he was alongside him into turn 1. Furthermore I think Esteban handled the whole situatuon well where he acted very professionaly in the media after he was absolutely slammed by Verstappen fanboys and the press... unlike Verstappen who acted like an absolute clown and acted like a manchild.
@@sebb8789 You're right, but it was still a bit of lack of common sense there
@@evandrochaves9596 Maybe so. But im sure Esteban didn't mean to provoke a crash. His move on Verstappen was pretty clean and plenty of space was given but Max just decided to fully turn in and ruin both of their races.
@@TommoOnRUclips People used to hate Perez because of the rivalry
The last time I was here this early Albon still had a seat
:'(
Last time I was this early people were still hating on Gasly... Look at him now, Alex never got his second chance.
@@sebb8789 very true. I refuse hate albon as that seat has clearly shown that is not competitive. Alex was pretty solid and hanging in there at Toro Rosso and if he was back there I think he would have been successful
Oh no I miss Alex
The Ocon-Stroll friendship is a very surprising one in the paddock, but it works. I’d guess it also has to do with Pierre being good friends with Charles who’s very prominent in the new gen. Also, for all his wealth, Lance remains pretty humble, especially compared with Max and Charles’ private jet pics. It was nice to see Esteban share his Sakhir podium with seemingly his best friend (in terms of drivers).
You're forgetting his greatest achievement, appearing as a character in the F1 2021 story mode. 😏
Well it seems I’m an Ocon fan now. Love an underdog, especially someone who came from such humble beginnings
Welcome Teels, I'm a pretty new member of the club too ngl
I always love an underdog story. Coming from working class settings and being in the shadow of the stars of f1 like Ricciardo and Alonso... I will certainly be rooting for Esteban this year, he seems like such a nice guy as well.
WE ALL KNOW WHY WE CAME BACK TO THIS VIDEO, LETS GOOOOOOO
Ocon is a really underated driver, he is doing a lot of progress, 2020 was a good year considering his teammate and that he didn't raced in F1 for 1 year, and fun fact, Ocon is hated by all the F1 RedBull Family except for Tsunoda 😂
Even tho he's not in f1 anymore, kvyat doesn't hate him either. In fact, there are a lot of Instagram talks between them.
Y tho?
@@VGOM2000
Sergio Perez was in force India with Ocon in 2017 and 2018 and their fights were really tough, it was like a Rosberg-Hamilton rivalry but in the midfield
Max verstappen was leading comfortably the 2018 Brazilian Gran Prix and he was just lapping Ocon when Esteban made an agressive move and made verstappen lose the victory
Here is the incident: ruclips.net/video/6LSAaVq4Dsw/видео.html
And about the Pierre Gasly situation, there's a video on Tommo's channel about how they don't get along anymore after being best friends in the days of karting
Here the link:
ruclips.net/video/gE-LRh0b14s/видео.html
@@josukedrip7340 Yeah but hate is a strong word to use. I don't know if it was the adrenaline but both were really pleased for each other at Sakhir and Esteban tagged Sergio on Insta after their battle in Portugal. And despite the incident at Brazil, Ocon and Max shook hands at 2020 pre season testing. And for Gasly, they're not friends but there's no hatred. They still talk. It's fair to say they have a history with Esteban, but none of them hate him
@@josukedrip7340 I think people really overplay the drama between Verstappen and Ocon at Brazil 2018. Keep in mind that their rivalry roots all the way back to GP3, so really I don't think that incident was the start of all their drama.
That Alpine team of Esteban and Alonso will give our podcast lots to talk about, that's for sure.
Esteban will smash Alonso
@@tomnewton4922 lol
@@tomnewton4922 rofl
@@tomnewton4922 people saying lol should look now at him Vs alonso
you were right
Who’s here after Ocon’s First win at Hungarian GP
Been a fan of him since his Manor debut Spa 2016. He seems like such a humble and grateful human being. Always smiling, extracting the positives out of anything, no matter how unlucky he might have been. Brazil 2018 and especially his year on the sidelines unfortunately did him no good, struggling to get up to speed and receiving a lot of (unnecessary) hate. Really hoping he can get off the blocks right from the start this season and push Fernandos like he did Perez in 2018 (particularily in Qualifying). I have to admit, he might not be a future champion but certainly has a great personality and is an enrichment for the F1 paddock.
He’s never arrogant while talking
I think like in 3 years he could be a good number 2 driver for Russell in merc. 3 years ago this thought sounded crazy considering how he battled Sergio, but Ocon is not a rookie anymore. I think he is not that agressive as before so he could fill this role after Bottas or Hamilton leave that seat. But I dont think he would want to leave his dream to become champ
Sometimes he could be a little toxic but he's humble and great.
Has anyone seen the anime CAPETA? It revolves around a kid who started his career in racing through humble beginnings...
Esteban's early karting career is astonishingly identical to what is portrayed in the show... travelling to races in a caravan and later identified by the racing schools through his talent..
thanks for the reccomendation
@@jwork5680 yeah do watch it.. its 👌 🆒️
@@rishabh3150 👍
A few weeks ago for one of the virtual grand prix he was coaching and acting as race engineer for a french youtuber, Squeezie, who was racing for Renault. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and supportive of Squeezie who was a newbie to the F1 game, even as he made a lot of mistakes. Never felt any frustrations and he never teased him either, lovely guy honestly
Esteban was definitely someone that I sort of ignored in the paddock but now I reckon he’s someone that I’ll be looking out for, cheers tommo, just what I needed, these vids are the best, really inspiring, thanks mate
P1 ocon. Letsss gooo
Would love to see more of these “origin videos” , tommo does it really well , and there’s a lot of drivers with some good stories
Alonso and Ocon come from similar backgrounds, like how they got into a kart at a very young age. They will form the best duo in this season and we can already see the chemistry from the testing.
I think you should do a video about Stroll. He gets alot of stick because of his dads wealth, but he has made some great performances in junior formula. And he is actually a really nice guy and is a good driver when he has his moments
And it all paid off for Esteban and his family today. Thank you for this!
Tommmmo. What a video. I really feel esteban is the most underrated driver, he will have a great season this year
Gio deserves a bit more credit as well, even if it's just because he looks like literal Jesus.
@@robinthebobin6537 completely agree, he also comes from very humble begginings
Cheers Ansh!
@@robinthebobin6537 all time most underrated is Kvyat
There's an aspect I really like about your videos: even if they're ten minutes long, at the end it feels like it's been 2 minutes. I could definitely stay here listening at you telling stories for so long. As a non-native speaker, I really really like your Bri'ish way of talking, it's really enjoyable
Thank you buddy, that's really kind of ya 🙌
Bri'ish accent >>>>> All the other accents
i never knew this, i respect him so much now. thank you for making this video!
Cheers Ronald Weaselby
What a drive from him yesterday 👏
Idk why but ocon feels like he is a lone guy , since most of the young drivers have friends like lando has carlos, max , charles and albon has like george , gasly has charles ,gio and LEWIS ( in one of the vids Lewis said he played CoD with him ) latifi has george and lance just gets along with his teammates .
I hope Alonso and ocon get along nicely and ocon makes great friends with that Alonso rookie.
Lance and Esteban are good friends - have been for years, and not shaken when Lance got Esteban's seat at Racing Point
It is surprising how much hate he gets along with Stroll, while the likes of Lando and Leclerc are much closer to Stroll than he is
Why? Norris has a rather wealthy background, yes, but Leclerc was fully financed by his manager as far as I know
schöfferhoferwz
Leclerc is rich, no question there
@@legolama123 mate Leclerc literally lives in Monaco. The guy is rich
@@kapilrk4135 lmao are you joking? I cant tell
In a video where leclerc is walking around Monaco with Natalie Pinkham, I believe he said he almost quit karting cuz his family couldn't afford it.
And now a new historical moment for him
i know that he's no longer in F1 but i'd love to see a video about Cyril and why he was seemingly portrayed as a bad guy by some in the sport
It's just DTS. In reality, only Christian dislikes him.
I've spoken about this on other vids and platforms but I'll tell you why he got fired and when you look at it's not surprising.
Lets be honest his results weren't the best and for a constructors there progress has been shit. You sign a GP winning driver in Riciarrdo and in his first season you have multiple retirements and engine failure with the same engine he grew to hate at Red Bull. Partnered with a young talent in Esteban Ocon, your driver line up was solid and they seemed to be driving on form making minimal mistakes. Its not a driver issue. Since Renault decided to become a constructor, its been statically proven in the history of F1 that constructors have the most money and perform to the front. We all saw what happened with Mercedes taking advantage of this and decided to get on top of the new regs way faster than everyone else in terms of development. But we also saw what can happen with McLaren trying to be their own constructor with being the only team with Honda powered engines from Ron Dennis's call. McLaren went from being 3rd fastest to basically last. It's all a risk but not excusable. 2014 - 2021. 7 years. A couple podiums?!?! In that space of time Red Bull went to HONDA to ditch YOU!!!! And the results?
Two words. Race. Wins.
Renault engines in the V8 era weren't known to be a fast engine anyways but was good enough for Red Bull to design a car around it to help in corners. 2021, Alonso coming in. The Espanians not gonna get any younger and expects to be challenging for championships ASAP. He (Cyril Abiteboul) failed and with the new factory and recourses hes developed and had , he only has so little to show for it. After watching "Drive to Survive Season 3" his so called "man management skills" with Riciardo was nothing short but embarrassing and unprofessional. The man genuinely looked like he wanted to cry over a a man simply objectively looking at better options since the first season went so badly with race retirements after race retirements after race retirements. Add also to his age to take into account to.
F1 is expensive. Force India were pretty much dying and were lucky to receive money from Lawrence Stroll and now went a step further and turned into Aston Martin. A constructor pretty much with a Mercedes engine. McLaren has now ditched you guys for - oh yeah a MERCEDES ENGINE!!!. You've just lost a customer and now your others competitors are leaving you in the mud.F1 would be less boring if dumb fuck heads new how to run teams and perform where they need to be. We should be getting top 2 teams each year fight it out and at best top 5 teams battle it out for the points paying positions Renault (Alpine) are a constructor like Ferrari and notice how everyone holds them accountable for a terrible 2020. Honestly. It's like watching a top Premiere League team like Arsenal be in the 14 - 9th position in the table when they should be top 6 minimum. When you put it like that you kind of don't feel sorry for the guy. lol
Man, thanks for this video! I'm french and even in France Esteban is not so much appreciated. I'm a huge fan of Esteban since his debut in GP3 and I hope with this video some people will change their mind !
He is still a Mercedes junior. I hope to see him and George in the silver arrows next year.
thaatt mmyyy drreeammmm
i bloody hope so

@@Ayad719 that would be amazing
I'm a Simple Man: See a Tommo Notification, I Click
i’ve met ocon before and he’s such a nice guy. i think he isn’t as outgoing as many other drivers and that’s what makes people not know if they like him or not
That episode of Beyond the Grid is the reason why I’ve become an Ocon fan. I’m actually convinced that Ocon will beat or at least be on par with Fernando. I also think Ocon will be George Russell’s teammate at Mercedes at some point
Completely agree
HE JUST WON THE HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX. WOW
Stroll and Ocon are both great guys!
Agree. I don’t think a Stroll-Ocon Racing Point would have been that bad outside of finances.
OCON ARMY!

I'm waiting for the rickroll link lol
same here bud
FINALLY THANKS TOMMO
Great video ! Love it, the Formula 1 media didn't cover him well too. he's not like Norris, Russell, Ricciardo who get everything from the media and all the attention. Ricciardo got multiple video with his Renault podium. Sainz got video for his podium too, Norris with McLaren get dedicated video.
First podium of Esteban in Formula 1 ? Not a single video of him in official Media RUclips channel juste write "Ocon podium" on their channel. NOTHING. Every other driver get atleast 1 video...
Other drivers become famous in the media and again that's not the case of Ocon, but every fan who meet him on Grand Prix week end agree that he's always smiling and happy and very humble.
He don't deserve the hate ! Remember when dutch media insult him in Norris Interview "That french f***"
Formula 1 become a media war too... That's bad :/
the editing is kinda off
Who is here after ocon’s first win
Love how tommo switches to a different clip to do the sponsor not just say it normal normal.
And he’s only gone and won! Things can only go forward from here!
I like ocon I have since like season one of drive to survive because you can see that he has that drive to give back to his parents that’s why he’s so stubborn and never gives In honestly he’s a king and has great potential
This is why he's my favourite/one of the favourite drivers in F1
Ocon is proof you can reach your dreams regardless of where you come from if you never give up
I think he’s being overlooked massively in terms of his talent. Had an increasingly positive season last year and I fancy him to carry it into this year.
Who’s watching this after that insane win
Me.
Since you hinted on a stream that you were making a vid on Ocon, I’ve been waiting for this and you didn’t disappoint!
Fun fact: Stroll's coach gave an interview to a Portuguese newspaper where he stated that Ocon was better than Max in raw talent. He has previously worked with Gasly, Leclerc, Verstappen, and even Mick Schumacher.
Me: sees Tommo uploads
Also me: grabs the F1 Cap *Off we goooo*
Love you Tommo💙
Thank you Tom!
Have you listened to the Kubica Beyond the Grid podcast he’s got a pretty mad rags to riches story too
I haven't watched it in full no, will be sure to.
Getting this recommended after Hungary 2021😂
At the time of writing, since the first F1 Grand Prix in 1950, there have been 113 individuals to have ever won a GP - and Ocon is one of them. That deserves respect.
We love Ocon! Thank you for the video Tommo, I look forward to seeing him thriving in the sport!
You're style of these videos make them really easy to watch... The photos and text keep it fresh and interesting compared to others who are just face
Thank you for doing this video, a lot of people doesn't know his story and how he struggled to be where he is now, people tend to missjudge him and asume things that are not true, which is not fair because he's one of the nicest drivers on the grid.
Good video. I always liked Ocon and appreciate his story. Good on him and I wish him all the success
The visual subtitles and just the smooth editing really added to this video, absolutely glued to the screen. Great video
Its really great that you made this video Tommo. A lot of people need to see this. And massive respect to Ocon and his Parents🙌🐐
Love the video. Gasly is my favourite driver, but as a person I guarantee Ocon is one of the most relatable on the grid and for me one of the 8/9 who fully deserve to be there.
Even the Drive to Survive episode desiccated to him did him justice, he’s a worthy guy with a champion’s mentality, I hope one day he’ll win a championship, he’s a talented and genuine fighter, full respect for him and his family who supported him!
I never delved into his story before so this was super interesting. Thank you!
I hope Ocon sees this, it would be a great boost for him
Very interesting stories...
TNX for sharing!!!
GoodLuck 👏🏼😎👊🏼
Thank you for making this video 🙏 Great job
haven’t watched yet, but i love your vids man, keep up the good work
Great video Tommo! Loving the content
That thumbnail design with the Ocon is incredible. Thats why you're the goat.
Beautiful video mate. I quite liked him since his DTM days and I'm so happy for his podium and hope he'll have a successful season
Wow. Just wow. He just went under the radar... geez. Incredible.
You're a legend for making this video! I've always had good vibes from Ocon, from what you can see in interviews etc so I've always considered myself a fan, and I'm happy you've helped bring this awareness about him. I cried for hours after Hungary. What a good guy and deserved win. Allez Les Bleus!! 💙
Looking forward for this one
This vid will go booming tonight ngl
I'm not a huge fan of Ocon, and I knew a bit about his rise, but this video is great and has shown him in a much better light and I have gained a lot of respect for him and his parents, grafting for the dream of their son
Great vid Tommo, I do love a bit of Esteban
Hey Tommo, there's nothing unfortunate about working your ass off to take care of your family. Please get out of that mindset. That is love when you put everything into something to take care of your family. Even if it's long hours and hard work it shows that you have pure love for the people that mean the most to you so there is nothing unfortunate about loving your family
I'm glad you made this video, but if we're talking about people in F1 who came from proper working-class families, we can't forget Kimi either.
I loved Ocon after DTS season 2 but I love him even more after this video. Thank you Tommo
Please do more of these, I love them 👍👍
I like Ocon, i almost felt bad for him when he got his first podium at the Sakir GP last year cuz there were so many other story lines going on, George Russel pit debacle/ puncture, checo winning and the media still talking about grosjeans crash. I felt like it was not talked about as much as it should have been. i think part of the reason ppl dont seem to like him is in part the way he was portrayed in S1 of Drive to Survive then being away for a year then coming back and struggling a bit. also not being part of the twitch/meme generation of drivers haha. cheers!
Great Video Tommo!
When i see the comments, tommo really does his best to have interaction with his supporters and i rate that mate, good job
Yes! I never understand why people hate him. I always liked the guy. I hope he has great success.
Esteban feels like the forgotten man of F1, when he came in and beat wehrlein to the force India seat he had all the hype and many people wanted him called up to Mercedes, nowadays some people think he shouldn’t even be on the grid. I hope he can have a long and successful career, he seems like a great and humble guy.
Ocon is my favourite driver so I really appreciate this tommo keep up the good work mate!!
Esteban is one of my favourite drivers on the grid. He’s underrated in my opinion and he can drive a bit wild but as you said that’s his grafter mindset.
To see a working class person make it to F1 and win a race was amazing to see.
A driver I never new much about. Very excited to see alpine and himself in 2021
