Out-of-work Esteban Ocon update on “options” and “priority” for 2025 drive
"Hopefully it will be sorted soon and announced"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon hopes his 2025 F1 drive can be announced soon - but stopped short of c𒁃larifying where he will go.
Alpine have confir🐓med that Ocon will exit the team at the end of this year, when his contract expires.
But♛ he revealed ahe🃏ad of this weekend’s F1 Austrian Grand Prix that talks for his next step are at an advanced stage.
“We are into deep conversations at the moment♔,” O💫con said.
“Discussions are going well, at the moment I’m confﷺident with the future and hopefully it will be sorted soon and announced.
“Yeah I’m confident, but as you said, until it’🌞s signed…”
Teams with a vacancy in their 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 F1 driver line-up are Williams, Haas, RB and Sauber.
Ocon hౠas lost an F1 race sea🎉t once before, in 2018 with Force India.
“I w🌼as confident as well at the end of 2018 but for differღent reasons it didn’t work out,” he said.
“But we have the experience of that.”
Ocon insists that being axed from Force India has giv🧔en him a more proactive response to Alpine’s announcement that he wouldn’t contin💛ue with them into 2025.
“Yeah for sure, and at no cost want to live that again for 💎sure,” he said.
“But as I said it’s going well at the moment, there’s a lot of deep discu🐻ssions going well and it sho🍒uld be sorted soon hopefully.
“Yes, there are ma꧟ny options, but I will not comment on a priority.”
O🔯con joins Carlos Sainz, Guanyu Zhou, Daniel Ricciardo and Valtteri Bo⛦ttas among others as drivers with uncertain F1 futures.
They are all scrambling for the same limited seats with the assumption that S꧂ainz - a grand prix winner last year and also this season - has the pick of the bunch.
Ocon reacted: I𝓀 think it’s never been straightforward, the m🔯arket, always been very strange.
“Always been reasoꦚns, not only on performance side, there’s been a lot of things going on.
“I don’t think it’s my favourite area of talking, I prefer to race on track,ꦕ but it is a big things for us𝓡.
“It’s alway♓s been a very silly thing in Formula 1, these driver 🌃market topics.
“It is interesting when you get in there and the views of high end people on many different things, but in the end it is still mostly on performa𝓀nce – not only – but mostly, so I still have hope on that.”
This year a💎t the Monaco Grand Prix, Ocon and teammate Pierre Gasly clashed to the annoyance o🌊f their employers.
Shortly af𒀰ter, Alpine con൲firmed they would not extend Ocon’s expiring contract. Gasly has penned a new deal with the team.
Flavio Briatore is also a high-profile arrival in an advisory capacity to♛ Alpine who badly struggled at the start of this season, but who finished ninth and 10th last weekend in Barcelona.
