P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Esteban Ocon is now into his eighth full F1 season, but has never been able to fight in a regular race-winning car.
Esteban Ocon expressed frustration about the lack of opportunity compared to his major F1 rivals, citing Max Verstappen’s successful career as an example. Despite achieving a victory and three podium finishes during his time with Renault/Alpine, Ocon often found himself in midfield machinery and had to wait for chaotic or wet races to score big points. Unlike Verstappen, who has consistently competed for race wins and championships, Ocon believes that with his dedication and hard work, he will eventually have the chance to drive a race-winning car and fight at the front of the field. Drawing parallels to Jenson Button’s career progression, Ocon remains optimistic about his future in F1 and aims to compete for wins, poles, and championships, while acknowledging the importance of maximizing points in the current midfield battles.
