1. Early Life and Background
Esteban José Jean-Pierre Ocon-Khelfane was born on 17 September 1996 in Évreux, Normandy, France, to Sabrina Khelfane and Laurent Ocon. His father, Laurent, is a mechanic who owns a garage in Évreux. His paternal family hails from Málaga, Spain.
1.1. Childhood and Family
Ocon's childhood was marked by financial challenges that necessitated immense sacrifices from his family to support his burgeoning karting career. To fund his early racing endeavors, his parents made the difficult decision to sell their family home, which included his father's garage. Following the sale of their house, the family lived and traveled to races in a caravan, which also served as Ocon's motorhome. Ocon once admitted that he nearly abandoned his racing aspirations to work at McDonald's due to these financial pressures.
As of 2022, Ocon resides in Geneva, Switzerland. In addition to his native French, he is fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian. In 2023, Ocon began a relationship with model and social media influencer Flavy Barla, a former Miss Côte d'Azur, after his split from previous girlfriend Elena Berri.
2. Junior Racing Career
Ocon's junior racing career was a rapid ascent marked by consistent success and championship titles across various categories, demonstrating his exceptional talent and determination from a young age.
2.1. Karting
Esteban Ocon began his competitive karting career in 2006, finishing eighth in the Minime class of the French Championship. He swiftly rose through the ranks, winning the championship in 2007 and then securing the Cadet class title in 2008, outpacing future Formula One drivers Anthoine Hubert and Pierre Gasly. He spent three years competing in the KF3 category, participating in the Spanish Karting Championship and Italian Open Masters. In 2010, he claimed the French KF3 title and finished as runner-up in the WSK Euro Series in 2011, narrowly behind Max Verstappen. At the age of 14, Ocon's potential was recognized when he was signed by Gravity Sports management, a sister company of the Renault F1 team.
2.2. Formula Renault
In 2012, Ocon transitioned to single-seater racing, competing in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series with Koiranen Motorsport. He finished fourteenth overall, securing four points-scoring finishes, including a podium at his home event at Circuit Paul Ricard. Concurrently, he contested a partial season in the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps Series with Koiranen, achieving two podium finishes, both at the Red Bull Ring, and finishing seventh in the standings.
For the 2013 season, Ocon remained in the series but switched to the ART Junior Team. He achieved two race victories, including another win at Circuit Paul Ricard, and secured one pole position, ultimately finishing third in the championship behind Pierre Gasly and Oliver Rowland. A partial campaign in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup (NEC) yielded one race win at the Hockenheimring and two additional podiums. Later in 2014, Ocon made a brief appearance in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series with Comtec Racing, scoring two points in his initial race.
2.3. FIA Formula 3 European Championship
Ocon made his Formula 3 debut at the 2013 Macau Grand Prix with Prema Powerteam, where he finished tenth despite stalling at the start of the main race. He continued his collaboration with Prema into the 2014 FIA Formula 3 European Championship. Ocon dominated the season, leading the standings from the first round at Silverstone Circuit until he was crowned champion with three races remaining. He finished ahead of notable competitors like Tom Blomqvist and Max Verstappen. Throughout the season, Ocon recorded nine victories, fifteen pole positions, and an impressive twenty-one podium finishes out of thirty-three races, accumulating 478 points. He also made a second appearance at the 2014 Macau Grand Prix, qualifying fourth but being eliminated in a multi-car collision on the first lap.
2.4. GP3 Series
In 2015, Ocon moved to the GP3 Series, joining ART Grand Prix. Despite securing only one official race victory (two other wins were rescinded due to penalties), his exceptional consistency saw him clinch the championship title by an eight-point margin over Luca Ghiotto. Over the eighteen-race season, Ocon achieved three pole positions and an impressive fourteen podium finishes, including a remarkable streak of nine consecutive second-place finishes, underscoring his steady performance.
2.5. Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM)
In 2016, alongside his role as a Formula One reserve driver for Renault, Ocon competed in the first ten races of the 2016 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) season with the Mercedes-Benz DTM Team ART. He managed to score two points, finishing ninth in the first race at Circuit Zandvoort. His DTM stint was cut short when he was promoted to a full-time Formula One race seat, and he was subsequently replaced by Felix Rosenqvist in the series.
3. Formula One Career
Esteban Ocon's Formula One career has been a dynamic journey through various teams, marked by significant milestones, fierce competition, and notable achievements, culminating in a Grand Prix victory.
3.1. Early F1 Experiences (2014-2016)
Ocon's first taste of a Formula One car came on 22 October 2014, when he drove the Lotus E20 as part of a two-day test for Lotus F1 Team at Circuit Ricardo Tormo. Just a week later, he participated in a test with the Ferrari F10 at Fiorano Circuit, a prize for his FIA Formula 3 European title. In November of the same year, he made his official Grand Prix weekend debut, participating in the first practice session at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for Lotus.
In May 2015, Ocon was invited by Force India to drive at the post-race test in Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya after Pascal Wehrlein withdrew due to illness. Prior to securing his GP3 title, it was announced that Ocon would join the Mercedes Junior Team. In February 2016, his role expanded as he was named reserve driver for the Renault Sport F1 team for the 2016 season. In this capacity, he took part in Friday practice sessions at four Grands Prix for Renault.
3.2. Manor (2016)
Manor Racing, a backmarker team, provided Ocon with his first full Formula One race seat in 2016.
3.2.1. 2016 season
On 10 August 2016, Esteban Ocon was announced as the replacement for Rio Haryanto at Manor Racing for the remainder of the season, after Haryanto's sponsors failed to fulfill their contractual obligations. Ocon partnered Pascal Wehrlein for the second half of the 2016 season. He made his Formula One debut at the 2016 Belgian Grand Prix, finishing sixteenth. His best result came in the rain-affected 2016 Brazilian Grand Prix, where he finished twelfth, narrowly missing out on points on the final lap. Despite the limited performance of the Manor MRT05 car, Ocon consistently brought the car to the finish line, completing all nine races he started. He finished 23rd in the Drivers' Championship, ahead of Haryanto.
3.3. Force India / Racing Point (2017-2018)
Ocon's two seasons with Force India (which later became Racing Point) were marked by consistent points finishes and intense on-track battles, particularly with his experienced teammate Sergio Pérez.
3.3.1. 2017 Season
On 10 November 2016, Force India confirmed that they had signed Ocon for the 2017 season as part of his multi-year contract with Mercedes. He partnered Sergio Pérez for his first full season in Formula One. Ocon immediately made an impact, scoring his first Formula One point in his inaugural race for Force India at the 2017 Australian Grand Prix. He continued this strong form by scoring points in the subsequent four races, including a fifth-place finish at the 2017 Spanish Grand Prix.
Following a twelfth-place finish at the 2017 Monaco Grand Prix, Ocon embarked on a remarkable streak of twelve consecutive points finishes. However, this period was also characterized by several controversial incidents involving his teammate, Sergio Pérez. At the 2017 Canadian Grand Prix, Pérez disregarded team requests to let Ocon pass, which could have allowed Ocon to challenge Daniel Ricciardo for third place. The friction escalated at the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where the two drivers collided, forcing Pérez to retire and giving Ocon a puncture. Ocon later recovered to finish sixth.
Their most significant collision occurred at the 2017 Belgian Grand Prix, where Ocon was squeezed towards a wall leading up to the Eau Rouge complex. Ocon expressed his fury with Pérez, stating that the incident "risked [their] lives." Force India team owner Vijay Mallya publicly acknowledged the severity of the repeated incidents, calling them "very concerning," and stated that the team would enforce team orders moving forward to prevent further clashes.
Despite the team dynamics, Ocon achieved the highest grid position of his career at the 2017 Italian Grand Prix, starting third after Red Bull Racing drivers faced penalties. He finished the race in a strong sixth position. At the 2017 Mexican Grand Prix, he spent much of the race in third place before ultimately finishing fifth. His impressive streak of twenty-seven consecutive race finishes, a Formula One record, ended at the 2017 Brazilian Grand Prix when he collided with Romain Grosjean on the first lap. Ocon concluded his first full season in Formula One in eighth place in the Drivers' Championship, accumulating 87 points, just behind Pérez's 100.
3.3.2. 2018 Season
Esteban Ocon continued as Sergio Pérez's teammate at Force India for the 2018 season. His first points of the year came with a tenth-place finish at the 2018 Bahrain Grand Prix. The season saw further on-track incidents and challenges for Ocon. At the 2018 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, he was involved in a first-lap collision with Kimi Räikkönen, which ended his race, while his teammate Pérez went on to secure a podium. Ocon retired from the subsequent race, the 2018 Spanish Grand Prix, due to an oil leak. Despite these setbacks, he recorded five more points finishes before the summer break. However, he retired from his home race, the 2018 French Grand Prix, after a first-lap collision with fellow Frenchman Pierre Gasly.
During the summer break, Force India faced severe financial difficulties, leading to its collapse and the acquisition of its assets by a consortium led by Canadian businessman Lawrence Stroll, father of Williams driver Lance Stroll. The new owners, who rebranded the team as Racing Point Force India, confirmed that Ocon and Pérez would complete the season. It was later revealed that Ocon had an "informal agreement" to join Renault for the 2019 season. However, Renault unexpectedly signed Daniel Ricciardo, leaving Ocon's future uncertain and raising concerns about his continued presence in Formula One.
At Racing Point Force India's first race under the new ownership, the 2018 Belgian Grand Prix, Ocon matched his career-best starting position with third place and finished the race in sixth. However, the team's internal tensions flared again at the 2018 Singapore Grand Prix, where Ocon and Pérez collided on the first lap, resulting in Ocon crashing into a wall and retiring. The team condemned the incident as "unacceptable" and subsequently implemented a ban on their drivers racing each other, with Pérez later apologizing for his role in the accident. Ocon faced a disqualification from eighth place at the 2018 United States Grand Prix after his car was found to have exceeded fuel flow limits.
The most controversial incident of his 2018 season occurred at the 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix. While attempting to un-lap himself, Ocon collided with race leader Max Verstappen, damaging both cars. Although both drivers continued the race, Ocon received a ten-second stop-and-go penalty for the incident. Following the race, in which Verstappen finished second, the two drivers engaged in a heated argument and pushed each other multiple times. The FIA summoned both drivers, and Verstappen was subsequently ordered to undertake two days of public service for making deliberate physical contact with Ocon. Ocon ended the 2018 season twelfth in the Drivers' Championship, scoring 49 points, trailing Pérez's 62.
3.4. Mercedes Reserve Driver (2019)
For the 2019 season, Esteban Ocon was replaced at Racing Point by Lance Stroll. With his previously informal agreement with Renault falling through, Ocon joined Mercedes as their reserve driver for the 2019 Formula One season, driving the Mercedes AMG F1 W10 EQ Power+. He did not participate in any Grand Prix weekends during the year. Ocon stated that he had been in discussions with Mercedes for a full-time seat for the 2020 season, claiming he was "very close" to replacing Valtteri Bottas. However, Mercedes ultimately decided to retain Bottas as their race driver.
3.5. Renault (2020)
After a year on the sidelines as a reserve driver, Ocon made his full-time return to Formula One with Renault, achieving his maiden podium finish.
3.5.1. 2020: Maiden podium
Esteban Ocon joined Renault for the 2020 season, signing a two-year contract and marking his return to Formula One as a full-time driver. He replaced Nico Hülkenberg and partnered with Daniel Ricciardo. Ocon qualified fourteenth for his Renault debut at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix and finished eighth, earning his first points of the season. At the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix, he was running in seventh place when he retired due to a cooling issue. He later received a grid penalty at the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix for impeding George Russell during qualifying, starting fourteenth, but recovered to finish eighth in the race. His best result since 2017 came at the 2020 Belgian Grand Prix, where he qualified sixth and finished fifth, just behind his teammate Ricciardo.
Ocon faced further mechanical issues and retirements during the season. His brakes caught fire during a safety car period at the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix, and the team was unable to repair the damage during the subsequent red flag period, forcing him to miss the restart. He also experienced mechanical retirements at the 2020 Eifel Grand Prix and the 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. At the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix, he qualified seventh and moved into third place by the first corner, but separate collisions with Ricciardo and Valtteri Bottas resulted in him finishing outside the points in eleventh place.
A significant moment arrived at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix. Starting eleventh, Ocon had climbed to fifth by lap 54, benefiting from opening lap collisions and strategic pit stops by other drivers. A virtual safety car (VSC) period followed, which third-placed Carlos Sainz Jr. and fourth-placed Ricciardo attempted to exploit by pitting. However, the VSC period ended while they were in the pit lane, nullifying their advantage and promoting Ocon to third place. Although he was soon overtaken by Sergio Pérez, pit stop issues for the leading Mercedes cars allowed Ocon to secure his first Formula One podium, finishing second. This was Renault's best race result since 2010. Ocon finished the season twelfth in the Drivers' Championship, scoring 62 points compared to Ricciardo's 119.
3.6. Alpine (2021-2024)
Renault rebranded as Alpine F1 Team for the 2021 season, and Ocon's tenure with the team included his breakthrough first victory and continued points-scoring performances.
3.6.1. 2021: Maiden Victory
Renault rebranded as Alpine F1 Team for the 2021 season, and the team signed two-time world champion Fernando Alonso to partner Ocon after Daniel Ricciardo's departure for McLaren. In Alpine's inaugural race, the 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix, Ocon was rear-ended by Sebastian Vettel of Aston Martin. Ocon finished thirteenth, and Vettel later apologized for the incident. Ocon was classified ninth at the 2021 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, ahead of Alonso, earning the team their first points under the Alpine name. His first retirement of the season occurred at the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix due to a turbocharger failure. He struggled with tyre wear at the 2021 French Grand Prix, finishing fourteenth, and qualified seventeenth for both the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix and 2021 Austrian Grand Prix, retiring from the latter after a first-lap collision with Antonio Giovinazzi. Before the French Grand Prix, Alpine announced that Ocon had signed a contract extension keeping him with the team until the end of 2024.
A pivotal moment came at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix. Starting eighth, Ocon was propelled into second place at the first corner due to multiple collisions ahead. He then inherited the lead when race leader Lewis Hamilton pitted for dry-weather tyres one lap later than the rest of the field. Ocon skillfully maintained his lead for the remainder of the race, fending off a strong challenge from Sebastian Vettel to secure his and Alpine's maiden Formula One victory. This historic win was followed by points finishes in the next three races. At the 2021 Turkish Grand Prix, Ocon finished tenth after completing the entire race distance on a single set of intermediate-weather tyres in damp conditions. This marked the first time a driver had completed a full race distance without a pit stop since 1997.
A collision with Antonio Giovinazzi at the 2021 United States Grand Prix resulted in a broken front wing and ultimately Ocon's retirement. He achieved a fifth-place finish at the 2021 Qatar Grand Prix, followed by a near-podium at the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix; Ocon briefly led the race at its first restart and ran in third for most of the event, but was overtaken by Valtteri Bottas just before the chequered flag, finishing a mere 0.102 seconds behind. Ocon concluded the 2021 season eleventh in the Drivers' Championship, with 74 points, slightly behind Alonso's 81.
3.6.2. 2022 Season
Alpine retained both Ocon and Alonso for the 2022 season. Ocon started the year strongly, finishing seventh at the season-opening 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix despite receiving a penalty for colliding with Mick Schumacher. He qualified fifth and finished sixth at the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, where a close battle with Alonso saw Ocon instructed by the team to hold his position. A crash in practice for the 2022 Miami Grand Prix forced him to miss qualifying and start last on the grid. He made a strong recovery in the race to finish ninth, which was later promoted to eighth after Alonso received a penalty. At the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix, Ocon qualified twelfth and finished seventh, ahead of Alonso, after successfully defending against Lando Norris. He finished ninth at the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix but was demoted to twelfth due to a penalty for colliding with Lewis Hamilton.
At the 2022 British Grand Prix, Ocon qualified fifteenth due to battery issues and retired from the race with a fuel pump problem, despite the significant upgrade packages brought to the Alpine A522. This was followed by five consecutive points finishes, including an impressive fifth place at the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix. Ocon qualified fifth at the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix but was demoted to sixteenth by an engine component penalty, yet he recovered in the race to score points in seventh place. He started seventeenth at the 2022 Singapore Grand Prix due to brake problems in qualifying and subsequently retired from the race with an engine failure.
Ocon's best result of the season came at the 2022 Japanese Grand Prix, where he held off Lewis Hamilton to finish fourth. At the 2022 United States Grand Prix, he was eliminated in the first qualifying session and started eighteenth; he finished eleventh after taking new power unit elements and starting from the pit lane. He was involved in separate collisions with teammate Alonso in the São Paulo sprint race, with the damage to his car dropping him to seventeenth, but he still recovered to score points in the main race. Ocon ended the 2022 season in eighth place in the Drivers' Championship, matching his best previous result from 2017. Notably, he outscored Alonso, finishing with 92 points to Alonso's 81.
3.6.3. 2023 Season
For the 2023 season, Esteban Ocon gained a new teammate in former karting rival and fellow Frenchman Pierre Gasly, as Fernando Alonso departed for Aston Martin. Ocon's preparation for the season was impacted when he fell "very sick" with a lung virus.
The season began with significant challenges at the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix. Ocon received multiple penalties for being out of position on the grid, failing to serve a penalty correctly, and speeding in the pit lane. He ultimately retired from the race due to mechanical issues. He scored his first points of the season at the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, finishing eighth after starting sixth. At the 2023 Australian Grand Prix, Ocon was involved in a heavy collision with teammate Gasly during the final restart, for which Gasly apologized. Ocon crashed in qualifying at the 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Alpine then made changes to his car under parc fermé conditions, forcing him to start both the sprint race and the main race from the pit lane. During the main race, Ocon was running on hard tyres until the very last lap when photographers began entering the pit lane prematurely, narrowly avoiding being hit by his car as he came in for his mandatory pit stop.
A highlight of his season came at the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix. Ocon started third after Charles Leclerc received a penalty. He successfully fended off Carlos Sainz Jr. in the first half of the race and, despite losing a place to George Russell during pit stops, a mistake and penalty for Russell allowed Ocon to reclaim third place, securing his third career podium and earning him the Driver Of The Day award. He continued to score points at the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix and 2023 Canadian Grand Prix, as well as in the rain-affected 2023 Austrian Grand Prix sprint race, where he held off Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris. However, in the main Austrian Grand Prix, Ocon finished outside the points after receiving a penalty for an unsafe pit box release. Post-race, he received an additional four penalties for track limits violations, totaling 30 seconds in penalties, setting a record for the most driving penalties in a single Formula One race.
The middle and later parts of the season saw a string of retirements for Ocon. He retired from the 2023 British Grand Prix due to a hydraulics leak and from the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix after a first-lap crash. He recovered to score points at the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix, improving from fourteenth on the grid to eighth. His retirement at the 2023 Italian Grand Prix was attributed to a steering issue "for safety reasons." He then retired from sixth place at the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix with a gearbox problem, marking his fourth non-finish in six races. He finished the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix in seventh place despite the extreme heat causing him to vomit into his helmet during the race. His seventh retirement of the season came at the 2023 United States Grand Prix after a collision with Oscar Piastri. A strong performance at the inaugural 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix saw Ocon start sixteenth, avoid collisions, and climb to fourth place by the end of the race. He concluded the season twelfth in the World Drivers' Championship with 58 points, one place and four points behind teammate Gasly.
3.6.4. 2024: Early Departure
Esteban Ocon continued alongside Pierre Gasly at Alpine for the 2024 season. During pre-season testing, Ocon noted that the team was "on the back foot" due to the car's performance. The Alpine drivers qualified poorly for the season-opening 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix, with Gasly describing their double Q1 exit as "not a surprise." Ocon did not reach the second qualifying session of a Grand Prix until the third race, the 2024 Australian Grand Prix, where he still finished sixteenth.
Ocon scored Alpine's first points of 2024 at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix, improving from thirteenth on the grid to tenth at the finish. He qualified eleventh at the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix but retired after colliding with Gasly on track, for which Ocon apologized and claimed responsibility. A week later, Alpine announced that Ocon would leave the team at the end of the season. At the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix, Alpine imposed team orders on Ocon, instructing him to yield P9 to Gasly, who was deemed to be in a better position to attack Daniel Ricciardo. However, after Gasly failed to pass Ricciardo, Alpine did not return the position to Ocon, which Ocon publicly expressed dissatisfaction with. Ocon continued to score points at the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix and 2024 Belgian Grand Prix.
Following these races, Ocon did not score points for the next six events. However, Alpine achieved a significant result at the rain-affected 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix, securing a double podium-their first of the year-with Ocon finishing second and Gasly third. Ocon briefly led the race but was eventually overtaken by eventual winner Max Verstappen. In the 2024 United States Grand Prix, Ocon recorded his maiden fastest lap.
Ocon was replaced by Jack Doohan for the season-ending 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Formula One's official website reported that Alpine allowed Ocon to leave the team one race early in exchange for releasing him to Haas for the post-season test in Abu Dhabi. In an Instagram message, Ocon thanked Alpine and expressed that "this is not how I wanted things to end."
3.7. Haas (2025-Present)
Ahead of the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix, the Haas F1 Team announced that Esteban Ocon would join their team on a multi-year deal, starting from the 2025 Formula One World Championship season and beyond. He is set to partner British rookie Oliver Bearman at Haas.
4. Records and Achievements
Esteban Ocon holds several unique records in Formula One that showcase his consistency and, at times, his challenging on-track behavior.
4.1. Notable Incidents and Penalties
Throughout his Formula One career, Ocon has been involved in several significant on-track incidents and has incurred various penalties. His rivalry with former teammate Sergio Pérez led to multiple collisions, notably at the 2017 Azerbaijan and Belgian Grands Prix, which prompted Force India to implement team orders. In 2018, he was disqualified from the United States Grand Prix for exceeding fuel flow limits.
The most publicized incident was his collision with race leader Max Verstappen at the 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix while Ocon was attempting to un-lap himself. This resulted in Ocon receiving a ten-second stop-and-go penalty and a physical altercation with Verstappen after the race.
In the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix, Ocon set a Formula One record for the most driving penalties in a single race, accumulating five penalties for track limits violations and an unsafe pit release, totaling 30 seconds of time penalties. In 2024, a collision with teammate Pierre Gasly at the Monaco Grand Prix led to his retirement and Ocon accepting responsibility.
Ocon holds the Formula One record for the **most consecutive finishes from the start of a career**, completing 27 Grands Prix consecutively from the 2016 Belgian Grand Prix to the 2017 Mexican Grand Prix.
