"Esteban Ocon is in the second year of a two-year contract with Renault and Alpine F1, and George Russell is with Williams this year.”He says Wolff. "So we have quite a few chances for 2022, and until then we will fully support Valtteri and Lewis. In the middle of the year, we will assess whether there will be a change for the 2022 season. But for now, it is too early to talk about scenarios for next year."
