Biography
Esteban Ocon begins his fifth season with the team ahead of the 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season, his seventh full-time campaign in Formula 1. Esteban is well known to the Enstone-Viry family having spent the 2016 season as the team’s Reserve Driver, and, prior to that, was part of the Lotus junior programme during which he won the FIA European Formula 3 title in 2014. A year later Esteban won the GP3 Series crown. The 27-year-old has started 133 Grands Prix and accumulated 422 points during that time since making his Formula 1 debut as a teenager at the Belgian Grand Prix in 2016. His best qualifying performance to date remains his superb third place in Belgium in 2018, while his best race result is his stunning debut victory at the Hungaroring in 2021. Some highlights of the 2023 season include Esteban’s memorable podium finish at the Monaco Grand Prix, as well as the impressive comeback drive to finish in fourth place at the much-anticipated inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix.
