The Alpine driver wants to focus even more on his racing and have less distractions outside of the cockpit.
During the Formula 1 winter break, Esteban Ocon plans to enter “war mode” in order to improve Alpine’s performance in 2024. Ocon wants to minimize distractions outside of racing and focus even more on his performance, following his third-place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix this year. Alpine had high hopes for the 2023 season but faced reliability issues and changes in management mid-season. Ocon himself finished 12th in the Drivers’ Championship, four places lower than in 2022, and Alpine dropped from fourth to sixth in the team standings. Ocon intends to train intensely from January until the first test, prioritizing racing and adopting a more focused approach similar to 2022.
