French racing driver Esteban Ocon is currently competing in Formula One for Alpine.
Having achieved great success in his junior career, Ocon won the 2014 FIA Formula 3 European Championship and the 2015 GP3 Series, despite only winning one race in the latter campaign. As a result, he secured a place at the Mercedes driver development programme, where he drove as a reserve driver.
Making his Formula One debut for Manor Racing at the 2016 Belgian Grand Prix, Ocon then moved to Force India/Racing Point in 2017, where he partnered with Mexican driver Sergio Pérez for two seasons.
Despite losing his seat at Racing Point at the end of the 2018 season, Ocon continued to serve as a reserve driver for Mercedes in 2019 until he joined Renault in 2020. Ocon went on to secure his first Formula One podium at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix and his first victory at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix.
