Esteban Ocon – Hungary for more success

A year on from his maiden victory in Formula 1 and Esteban Ocon returns to the site of his biggest triumph. After securing some more points at his home Grand Prix in France, Esteban is keen to enjoy another strong weekend at the scenic and memorable city of Budapest.

A satisfying home race for the team, how do you look back on your French Grand Prix?

“A double-points finish for the team on Sunday was the aim, so we are definitely happy to have achieved that in front of our home crowd. What is more, we’re now ahead of McLaren in fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship, something the team no doubt deserves.

The hard work of everyone at the track, at Enstone and Viry is paying off and this is proof that we are moving in the right direction. I’d like to thank again all of the fans who came out to support the team all weekend. They were amazing and it’s definitely a home Grand Prix I’ll remember for a long time.

It would be difficult to see an F1 calendar without a Grand Prix in France, a country with so much motorsport heritage, so I really hope we will be racing in front of our home fans next year.”
 

We’re back in Budapest this week and all the memories that come with that. How are you feeling ahead of it?

“I feel good, and it will be emotional to be back in Budapest for sure. I can already feel all the memories of last year coming back. But that was last year, and we need to be fully focused as a team to deliver another solid weekend.

 It will be important to go into the shutdown with a feeling of having really cemented that fourth spot in the Constructors’ Championship. We know it will be difficult, but we have the team and the tools to do just that. We will be giving it one last push before a well-earned break for the team who have worked incredibly hard all year.”
 

We know Budapest is one of your favourite tracks. What do you like most about it?

“I do really enjoy the track and it’s one of my favourites, and not just because I won there! I like the second sector and how fast and flowing it is. It seems you don’t get a break from turn four to turn 11, and if your set-up is good that sequence of corners can feel really nice and make you feel like you’re extracting the maximum from the car.

It’s a really fun track to drive. But overtaking is perhaps not as easy as other circuits, so a good performance in Qualifying will be key for all teams. I also really enjoy Budapest as a city. It’s always a pleasure going back there, and we will aim to finish this first half of the season strongly.”
