This year Esteban Ocon on the gas pressure mainly in the Mercedes simulator. The fast Frenchman travels more than 1.000 kilometers before each race to support work on the track Lewis Hamilton in Valtteria Bottas. A job that allows him to gain additional experience as a racer. “I really learn a lot from Mercedes. When I get back on the track, I'll be a more complete racer,”The 22-year-old is convinced.
"This team is very successful and has an invaluable treasure trove of experience. He worked hard on his feedback for the team. I have to show the gossip form in the simulator and I do. If I look at all these hours I spent in the simulator, it benefits me a lot. As a racer, it also helps me focus better because I work at different hours. This is about staying within one to two tenths of a second on more than 200 laps of time. It's very difficult, but it's good and I'm very happy to do it,”He explained Or with.
To return to Formula 1, he gives up sleep
Despite the huge number of hours in the simulator, he is young Or with also present in paddock Formula 1 - and for this he often had to sacrifice his sleep. “I insisted that I wanted to be present at the racetrack. I don’t want to just work in a simulator. The guys have warned me that this could be difficult, and here I am just attaching them. Still, I wanted to be in the races, even though I was deprived of sleep because of it. But it's okay, it's not that bad yet. There is a lot worse in life and I can go to bed early on Saturday to be rested on Sunday."
If you are not present at the races, you are forgotten
Because Or with is aware: “If you’re not on the racetrack, these people quickly forget. This probably also played a role in my decision to stay within Formula 1. Because our goal is to get back on the starting field. That’s the only goal I have. Clearly, if I fail for next year, then I will have to keep an eye on the alternative as well. However, this is not the goal. That’s why I want to be present at every race. I want to go back to Formula 1 and stay present in the team so that no one forgets me."
And his presence at the races could pay off soon. For judging by the cooks of rumors, he was supposed to be Or with just before signing the contract with the factory team Renault for the 2020 season (with option 2021), which we have already reported. That would be at Renault meant he should Nico Hulkenberg pack suitcases because Daniel Ricciardo he is the first racer of the team and on top of that he has a valid contract for 2020.
