A case of small artthat talents don’t overheat. To prepare them carefully for entry into Formula 1 at the right time. And not only that, also the moment to progress to top team, is well chosen. Esteban Ocon is a young man Mercedesa, Toto wolff, the boss of Silver Arrows, is also his manager. Theoretically, then, it was almost in the palm of your hand to make young French then also raced in the team Mercedes, isn't it?
Yes, but not in this season and most likely not in the future either, for Or with returns to the start after a one-year break Formula 1 for the team Renault. The reason is as follows: Toto wolff he wanted to prevent the young Or with overheats and to become light food for Hamilton. “To let him race against Hamilton, who has been with Mercedes for seven years and at the peak of his career, would not be good for Ocon, especially not after a one-year break,”He explained Wolff.
Austrian he adds: "Otherwise, the story would have been quite exciting and he would probably have done his job well, but there is only one who did well against the superstar (Fernando Alonso, op.p.) and that was Lewis Hamilton. All the other racers needed their time,”So the team boss Mercedessupplementing: "I didn’t want to risk his career, nor did I want to risk doing anything, a lady to beat Lewis. And that was the decisive point of our decision."
