Alpine have annouܫnced they will "part ways" with Esteban Ocon at the en✅d of this season.
Alpine have announced 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon will leave the team at the end of the 2024 F1 season.
Ocဣon’s contract wi🦂th the French manufacturer was due to expire at the end of this year.

Ocon has been heavily linked with moves to Haas and🐈 Sauber in recent weeks amid Alpine’s poor start to the year🅷.

Ocon initially joined the team in 2020, replacing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg.

Ocon helped guide the team to an impressive fourth in the constructors’ championship in 2022 alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso.
Speaking of the news, Ocon said: “It’s been a significant period of my life to be racing at this team in Formula 1. While I’ve been here for five years as a full-time racing driver, my professional💛 career started at Enstone back🔴 when I was a teenager, so it will always be a special place for me.
“We have had some great moments together, some tough moments as well, and I am certainly 💃grateful to everyone at the team for these memorable times.
“I will announce my plans very soon but, in the meantime, my full focus is on delivering on track for this team and꧅ having a suc🌊cessful remainder of the season.”
Team principal Bruno Famin added: “We would like to firstly thank Esteban for his commitment to the team for the past five years. During his timeꦛ, we have celebrated some fantastic mome🎃nts together, the best of which coming at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix with a memorable race win.
“We still have 16 races to co🌠mplete in 2024 together with a clear objective: to co♐ntinue to work tirelessly as a team to push for the best on-track results.
“We wish Esteban the very best for the next chapter of his driving career ♑when that moment comes.”
