What next for Esteban Ocon? His three options for F1 2025 revealed
Esteban Ocon’s time at Alpine will come to an end🎃 later this year. But where will he end up in 2025?
On Monday ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Alpine announced they will “part ways” with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon at the end of the season.
💫Ocon has been with the team in 2020, taking his ma🥃iden F1 podium and victory with the Enstone outfit.
However, given Alpine’s poor form, and the relationship between both parties seemingly deteriorating, it’s u🐟nsurprising to see a change for 2025.
But what are his realistic options for next year?
Sauber/Audi
Rumours of a switಞch to Sauber - which will become Aud꧋i in 2026 - have remained consistent over the last year.
While Ocon isn’t top of Audi’s wishlist, he’s a strong contender to team up with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg in 2025.
At this stage, it’s quite clear that Audi are waiting to hear from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.
If Sainz isn’t able to get a drive at Red Bull or Mercedes, then he will be left with either Audi or William💞s as possible options.
Sainz’s decision will have a knock-on effect.
Should the current Ferrari driver join Audi then that leaves Ocon with two clear options - Haas🍷 or Will🍌iams.
On the other hand, if Sainz feels Williams, powered by Mercedes for 2026, is the best choice, then Ocon could𒁃 have an Audi drive.
Haas
One team in the market for a new driver is Haas.
According to F1’s Lawrence Barretto, Ocon is a possible option for the American outfit as they look to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen.
Haas are frustrated with Magnussen’s level of performance🍬,ꦛ while his incident-strewn campaign has moved him close to a race ban.
Ocon remains an option for Haas, but as per the aforementioned report, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas could be their preferred choice.
The Finn’s wealth of experience and ability to be a team player would make him a great option alongside Oliver Bearman, who is expec❀ted to get a full-time🦹 drive in 2025.
Williams
Anot🧜her seat available on the 2025 F1 driver market i🤡s at WIlliams.
Williams are still undecided on which driver will partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant has shown zero sign of improvement since lasꩲt year, meaning Williams a𓆉re exploring their options.
There have been strong reports of Sainz potentially joining them,♚ while Bottas has 🦋been pictured in the Williams motorhome on at least two occasions.
Ocon - and teammate Gasly - have alဣso been linked, although the former’s chances have taken a hit after a report in the German press claimed that James Vowles doesn’t see Ocon as a lik✨ely contender due to his history of clashing with teammates.
