More juicy details have emerged about Esteban Ocon's Alpine exit...
Esteban Ocon was informed that his Alpine contract would not be extended for the F1 2025 season after a simulator session at Enstone last Thursday, it has been claimed.The announcement comes eight days after Ocon collided with team-mate Pierre Gasly on the opening lap of the Monaco Grand Prix, where team principal Bruno Famin publicly threatened to bench the former for this weekend’s race in Canada.
A report by Formula 1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto has claimed that Ocon learned he would not receive a new Alpine during a trip to the team’s Enstone factory last Thursday, where he participated in a “pre-planned” run in the simulator.It is claimed that Ocon met Famin afterwards and was told that he will be released at the end of 2024.
Ocon also revealed that he had been left “deeply saddened by the abuse and negativity” he had received in the days following the race in Monaco. Ocon is also thought to feature high on Audi/Sauber’s list of alternatives if outgoing Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz is unattainable for F1 2025.
