P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Esteban Ocon has revealed that he’s going to be returning to his training centre every time he returns home from a Grand Prix, so that he can recover as quickly as possible.
Recovering quickly is crucial in the 2024 F1 season, which includes a record-breaking 24 races. Unlike in 2023, where some races were canceled, all races are currently scheduled to take place. This makes it an even more demanding season for the drivers. The season starts in March with the Bahrain Grand Prix, but the first practice session begins at the end of this month. The season finale in Abu Dhabi will be in early December, meaning that the teams and drivers will travel for over nine months. With six sprint races included, some argue that there are 30 races to complete. Fatigue can be a significant issue in such a long and busy season, as seen with drivers experiencing illness after the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Esteban Ocon, who is without a contract for 2025, recognizes the importance of staying fit and healthy. He has been focusing on recovery in order to return to training and racing as quickly as possible. Despite being ill at the end of last season, Ocon has been feeling better and spending two hours every night on the simulator.
