This is the position of his boss Cyril Abiteboul, who responded to rumors that the team wants for the season 2021 perhaps sign a contract with another young French racer - Pierre Gasly, winner of the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.

Or with, who joined the team this season Renault, has won so far 36 points, his teammate Daniel Ricciardo, who took the podium at the Nürburgring, however 78. Nevertheless Abiteboul puts in defense of the 24-year-old Ozone. "You should be very pragmatic about a situation that is not a disaster. If we include the points he lost due to the unreliability of the car, he would otherwise still be lagging behind Daniel, but not as much as he is now. And we're talking about Ricciard. Esteban has never had such a strong colleague, he had good ones, especially Perez, but I think Daniel is stronger."

Cyril Abiteboul, head of Renault, denies rumors that he would talk to Pierre Gasly and defends Esteban Ocon, stressing that he should not be ashamed of this year’s performances.

Therefore Abiteboul he says he has to Or with lower your head and focus on your progress. “He has to set realistic goals and there is no reason to be ashamed of his current performance,He added French. "Like many young racers, he is sometimes impatient, leading to minor mistakes. However, I don’t worry as he can fix this and with the support of the team he will be able to do that as well."
