Esteban Ocon (born 17 September 1996) is a French racing driver who is part of the Mercedes F1 driver development programme, and is currently listed as the third and reserve driver for the Renault Sport Formula One Team. [1]

Career

Karting

Born in Évreux, Normandy, Ocon entered karting in 2006, when he finished eighth in the French Minime Championship,[2] before he won the championship the following year.[3] He continued his winning streak in 2008 in the French Cadet Championship,[4] before moving to the international scene in 2009. He moved into the KF3 category, staying until the end of 2011, when he won the French KF3 title and finished as runner-up in the WSK Euro Series.[5]

Formula Renault

In 2012, Ocon made his début in single-seaters, taking part in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 with Koiranen Motorsport.[6] He finished fourteenth with four point-scoring finishes, including podium at his home round at Le Castellet.[5] He also contested a partial campaign in the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps with Koiranen,[7] finishing seventh with two podiums, both of which came at the Red Bull Ring.

For 2013, he decided to switch to the ART Junior Team.[8] He took three podiums, as well as his first victory at Le Castellet and finished season on the third position in the standings.[9]

Formula Three

Ocon made his Formula Three début at the Macau Grand Prix, racing for Prema Powerteam.[10] In 2014 he expanded his collaboration with Prema into FIA European Formula Three Championship.[11] He was on top position of the standings since first round at Silverstone and won the championship with a round to spare.[12]

Formula One

Ocon partook in the first free practice session of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on 21 November 2014, driving for Lotus F1. He also partook in post race testing in Barcelona with Force India. Prior to his claiming of the GP3 title, it was announced that he would enter the junior programme of the Mercedes F1 team. In February 2016, it was announced that Ocon would act as reserve driver for the Renault Sport F1 team.[13]

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

Ocon joined the World Series by Renault's 3.5 category for Comtec Racing at Hungaroring and Le Castellet, scoring two points in his first race.[14]

GP3 Series

On 11 March 2015, it was announced that Ocon would enter the series with ART Grand Prix. He claimed the championship despite only scoring one victory (two other victories were denied due to penalties) and pressure from Luca Ghiotto.

DTM

On 10 February 2016, it was announced that Ocon would drive for Mercedes-Benz in the 2016 DTM season, alongside his reserve role at Renault Sport F1. Ocon fills the vacant seat of 2015 DTM champion and fellow Mercedes F1 youth programme member Pascal Wehrlein who graduated to F1 with Manor Racing.
