With Esteban Ocon facing the reportedly “serious” threat of being benched for the Canadian Grand Prix, he referred to uncertainty over his Alpine future as the “dark side” of Formula 1 as he searches for career security.became one of the major talking points of the Monaco Grand Prix for all the wrong reasons after colliding with Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly on the opening lap at Portier, a coming together which saw Ocon’s A524 lifted off the ground.
Ocon would make reference to 2018, having been dropped at the end of that season in favour of Lance Stroll at Racing Point, following his father Lawrence Stroll’s purchase of the team. He would return to the grid in 2020 with Renault.Asked by media including PlanetF1.com whether recent major changes in the Alpine team, including the signing of new executive technical director David Sanchez, are enough to make him consider staying, Ocon replied: “We’ll see.
“I think I’m doing a good job again this year and for the years that I’ve made in F1. I deserve to be having a place in F1. We’ll see. “But in Formula 1, it’s quite a dark side, you know, that path, and not the one that I’ve ever enjoyed. So as soon as it will be done, the better it will be.”
