Esteban Ocon, born on September 17, 1996 in Évreux, France, is a talented motorsports driver who has made his mark in Formula 1 thanks to his skill behind the wheel and his determination on the track. Prior to his debut in motorsport's top flight, Ocon had a successful and developmental career in the single-seater series, demonstrating his potential from an early age.
Ocon's interest in racing began in his childhood, when he was introduced to karting. He quickly excelled in this sport and won several French and international karting championships. His performances caught the attention of the motoring community and opened the doors for him to make the leap to the single-seater categories. Esteban Ocon's debut in single-seaters came in 2012 in the Formula Renault 2.0 Euro Cup, where he competed over two seasons. His talent and consistency on court were reflected in his results, and in 2014 he finished runner-up at the Euro Cup. His success continued when he won the GP3 Series championship in 2015, confirming him as one of motorsport's young promises. In 2016, Ocon advanced to the GP2 Series (today known as Formula 2) and was crowned champion in his debut season.
2016
His impressive performance in GP2 earned him a place as a test and development driver with the Mercedes Formula 1 team. This position provided him with valuable experience and opened the doors for his Formula 1 debut. Ocon's Formula 1 debut came in 2016 with the Manor Racing team, where he contested nine races as a starting driver. His debut was promising, as he scored his first point in his first Grand Prix, becoming the youngest French driver to do so.
2017
Esteban Ocon made his full Formula 1 debut in 2017 with the Force India team (now known as Aston Martin). After participating in some free trials in 2016, he was promoted to the starting seat for the 2017 season. Ocon had a solid season as a rookie, showing consistent pace and taking points in most races. He finished in the points in 16 of the season's 20 races, scoring 87 points in total and finishing eighth in the drivers' championship. His consistent performance and his ability to quickly adapt to the world of Formula 1 caught the attention of the motoring community.
2018
Ocon continued racing with the Force India team, which later changed its name to Racing Point midway through the season. Esteban kept his performance consistent and demonstrated his ability in challenging situations. He achieved his best result of the season at the Mexican Grand Prix, where he finished in sixth place. Despite his prowess on the track, he had some controversial moments, including an incident at the Belgian Grand Prix with teammate Sergio Pérez. At the end of the season, Ocon collected 49 points and was ranked eleventh in the drivers' standings.
2019
In 2019, Ocon joined the Renault team as a reserve driver after losing his seat at Racing Point (now Aston Martin) due to team restructuring. However, he did get a chance to return to the grid at the Belgian Grand Prix, where he replaced Nico Hülkenberg. Despite the lack of driving time, Ocon showed his ability by scoring points in several races and finishing seventh at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Although he only started nine races in the season, he managed to accumulate 37 points and finished in twelfth place in the drivers' championship.
2020
In 2020, Esteban Ocon got a starting seat with the Renault team, which was renamed the Alpine F1 Team. The season presented new challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic, but Ocon was quick to adapt to the changing circumstances. Despite some inconsistent results in the early races, Ocon improved his performance as the season progressed. At the Sakhir Grand Prix, he achieved his best result by finishing second, only behind Sergio Pérez. Ocon had a season total of 62 points and ranked eleventh in the drivers' championship.
2021
Ocon continued to race with the Alpine F1 Team. The season brought an exciting win for Esteban at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he capitalized on a chaotic start to the race to secure his first Formula 1 win. In addition to his win, Ocon scored points in several races and showed consistent performance in track. He finished the season with 105 points and ranked eighth in the drivers' championship.
2022
The season represents a new chapter in Esteban Ocon's Formula 1 career. He continued to race with the Alpine F1 Team in a year when teams and drivers faced significant changes in technical regulations. The season is still ongoing, but Ocon has shown his ability in several races and continues to fight for results in a highly competitive field.
2023
Esteban Ocon competed in the 2023 Formula 1 season with Alpine, alongside compatriot Pierre Gasly. His best result of the year was a remarkable third place at the Monaco Grand Prix, scoring a key podium for the team. In several races, he faced reliability issues and a lack of pace due to the difficulties of the A523 car. He had intense clashes with his teammate Gasly, reflecting the internal competitiveness within Alpine. He managed to score points in several events throughout the year, but the team was unable to match his 2022 performance. He finished the season in 12th position in the Drivers' Championship, with 58 points.
2024
Esteban Ocon's 2024 Formula 1 season with Alpine was marked by ups and downs and significant changes. From pre-season testing, Ocon noted that the team was at a disadvantage. Ocon scored Alpine's first points at the Miami Grand Prix by finishing tenth. At Monaco, an incident with Gasly on the opening lap led to his retirement. In June, it was announced that Ocon would be leaving Alpine at the end of the season. A highlight was the São Paulo Grand Prix, where Ocon achieved a second place, his best result since 2021. However, his departure was brought forward before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, being replaced by Jack Doohan.
2025
Ocon's debut season with Haas was, to put it plainly, disappointing. He arrived at the American outfit expected to lead the team alongside rookie Oliver Bearman, but the VF-25 was an inconsistent car that had him starting 19th in Melbourne and scrapping at the back of the field for much of the year. His best result was a fifth place in China, though it came through the disqualification of both Ferraris. What stung the most was Bearman: the rookie outqualified him and finished ahead in the championship standings, something Ocon openly admitted was hard to swallow. He ended the season 15th with 38 points, and team principal Komatsu held nothing back when he said the team expected more from him. Still, Ocon valued the team environment as the best he had experienced in his career. He stays at Haas for 2026, with the pressure to prove he still belongs at this level.
2026
A quiet season continued for Ocon, with his only points of the year coming from tenth in Japan and ninth in Monaco. Retirements, near-misses at Monza and a distant finish in Madrid rounded out the rest of the campaign. Through fourteen rounds he sits 18th in the championship with 3 points, once again finishing behind teammate Bearman in the standings.
