I love Ocon. I want him to land a good seat… but sadly there aren’t many good seats left

My theory: Ocon was told that he wouldn't be retained sometime prior to Monaco and then he just didn't care to play the team game on the opening lap

Far far the fuck away.

Tommy has a beard? I don't see it... peach fuzz stage?

Ocon is going to Indycar and win a lot of races

I know this comment is not really about Ocons departure out of Alpine. But with new available seat outside RB for Tsunoda, does it mean Riccardo + Lawson or there will be another pairing?

"Sent him for a Home Run" doesn't translate well to the Americans. A Home Run is a very good thing it would be kind of like winning pole in that "LeClair hit a Home Run during that pole session." Think you wanted to use the term "Sent him packing" though that would me he isn't around now.

George, Carlos and Max are my favourites

"Where does Esteban Ocon go next?" T H E B I N.

The way Famin said consequences in French was not as deep as it is in English

Why let Ocon finish the season?

Tommy is all grown up. Where does the time go?

If you think ocon is going anywhere besides his couch next season, you are wrong

I see him in indycar.

Outside of F1

Left field suggestion here. Besties Ocon and Stroll should start their own team. See how long their friendship lasts.

LOL LinkedIn

I want an Ocon-KMag Haas that’s pure carnage

I am afraid this might be the end of the F1 carrière for Ocon, his problems with teammates and his not listening to teamorders might be too much now. Teams will probably even choose Valteri over Ocon, because Bottas is better known for playing the team game. I would rate his chance of leaving F1 a 7 out 10

If I said I didn't feel a tiny bit spiteful I'd be lying. Estie Bestie begged for something like this being the egocentric pigheaded fellow he is. I understand that every driver who has a seat in F1 is egoistic and ruthless, but every driver other than Esteban knows at least how to be a team player from time to time.

"Ocon is too good of a driver..." What? When? Not having a seat should be a 12.

man 10 months left for the next drive to survive. can't wait.

Matt consistently makes lofty nonsense claims based on nothing but blind overconfidence. I’d be shocked if any of his predictions have ever come true

Ocon to Red Bull

Other than Bearmen and Antonelli, everybody seems to forget Pourchaire. When everybody was convinced last year that he will have a seat in 2025. Drugovich, and Vesti, (Svarcman ?), all of the is good and they are still there as an option. There are multible options for teams if they want to sign a young driver who proven himself in F2 the only problem is that they are not top priority for anybody as they didn't race much in the past years.

Nascar

I'm the words of The Clash, "Straight to hell, boy".

Where is going next... out of F1. He brings nothing to the table for any team. So yeah, goodbye we won't miss you.

Tsunoda to Alpine would be great! He gets to be with Pierre again, Lawson gets to have his seat alongside Ricciardo! Everyone's a winner in that scenario!

Alpine should have dropped him long ago and given the seat to Piastri.

Maybe im wrong but i feel like if he cant get a Sauber/audi seat than he'll be out

Ocon Russel would be… an interesting combo.

Not fan of Ocon, and he is definitely a trouble maker. But, there are not many proven fast drivers other than him among his seat chances for the lower midfield teams. Teams that run a point or more in the GP should and will see Ocon as fast driver among other drivers may be competing for seats.

He’s going home

That's cute that Matt thinks Ocon will have a seat next year lol. Ocon be so gone. No one wants that reliability when there are plenty of good options waiting in the wings. A team would be better with no second driver than Ocon in the second seat

Reserve driver next year. I can't see a midfield team wanting him because he ultimately costs teams points with his antics.

You are smoking straight ROCKS if you think ocon could ever reach Ferrari. What the fuck is that take💀

I think Ocon is not on the F1 grid next year. As I understood, Gasly and Ocon were both warned not to do stupid things. But when the helmets go on, common sense goes out of the window it seems. How many times did VJ at Force India not warned both Ocon and Perez to take it a notch down? They didn't listen. Ocon and Alonso crashed and now he is fighting with Gasly. But Ocon is on serious notice and when he pulls a second stupid stunt, he will be on the sidelines for the rest of the reason and can kiss his F1 future goodbye. Sato went on to race in the US and won the Indy 500 twice, also Ericson did win the Indy 500. Ocon is a good driver, but it is his reputation that will prevent other F1 teams from hiring him. When he tried to unlap himself in Brazil 2019 on Verstappen and after the race was pushed, Verstappen went on to say that Ocon pulled this crap also during his carting days... Thing is that for Mercedes it doesn't really matter if they end up with P3, P4 of P5 at the end of the season which makes it a perfect opportunity to get Antonelli already in 2025. Than he has a full year to get used to a top team. But I recon that Mercedes holds out as long as they can to see if they can get Verstappen (unlikely) and maybe get a Albon, which in that case Antonelli will most likely go to Williams. Haas is the only contender as you guys already pointed out, but if you cannot get along with your teammates, can you really take the team to the next level? Yuki stepped up after Gasly left and most of the times shows he is ready for a bigger team, but from time to time falls back to it's old habits. Yuki needs a team like Alpine or McLaren was two years back, fighting just outsides the regular podium contenders, but ready to snatch one if the top 3 screw up...

Well, that was it for Ocon. Highly doubt he'll find another seat in F1. More talented drivers are waiting for an opportunity. I'm expecting Magnussen & Zhou will be gone as well after this season.

I think there are too many promising potential rookies coming in for anyone to feel safe. I'll give my insane driver predictions; Alpine: Gasly & Doohan Aston: Alonso & Tsunoda Ferrari: Hamilton & Leclerc Haas: Bearman & Ocon Sauber: Hulkenberg & Pourchaire McLaren: Norris & Piastri Mercedes: Russell & VCARB: Ricciardo & Lawson Red Bull: Verstappen & Perez Williams: Albon & Sainz Dropped: Sargeant, Magnussen, Stroll, Bottas, Zhou Give me your opinions, I'm honestly loving discussing and theorizing on this silly season.

This will probably play in the hands of Drugovich who’ll sign alpine in a heartbeat
