Mercedes have revealed that they are still managing Esteban Ocon’s F1 career, despite him being an Alpine driver for several years.
Toto Wolff began managing Esteban Ocon in 2015, leading to Ocon’s debut in Formula 1 with Manor in 2016. After three seasons with Force India, Ocon lost his seat to Lance Stroll and became Mercedes’ reserve driver for a year. In 2021, Ocon signed a contract with Alpine until the end of the 2024 season, but Mercedes continues to manage his career. Ocon’s performances, especially against teammate Fernando Alonso, have impressed Mercedes, and he is still improving as a driver.
