Esteban Ocon expressed his interest in participating in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the future, following the unveiling of the new Alpine A424 hypercar. Alpine will compete in both Formula 1 and the World Endurance Championship this year, like Ferrari. Ocon mentioned that if an F1 driver were to participate in Le Mans during the F1 season, it could potentially inspire more drivers to do the same. The last full-time F1 driver to compete at Le Mans was Nico Hulkenberg in 2015. While no current F1 drivers will be at Le Mans this year, there will be other recent F1 talents, including Antonio Giovinazzi, Nyck de Vries, and Mick Schumacher. Ocon expressed his support for Schumacher’s debut in the World Endurance Championship and his hope to see him back in F1 soon.
