Esteban Ocon heads to Canada for his third ever race in Formula 1 around the French speaking streets of Montreal. Following his sixth points finish of the season last time out in Baku, Esteban will be looking to continue his form in Canada where he’s scored points in his two previous visits.


Esteban Ocon ahead of Canadian Grand Prix – having a smooth weekend

How do you sum up your weekend in Baku?

It was not the best weekend for sure even if we were able to come away with a point. We showed decent competitiveness up until Sunday and we felt we could’ve done better on race day. On Saturday, we had the pace to be well in the top ten in Qualifying, but the yellow flags were unfortunate, which then impacted where we started and how we approached the race.

But, in the end, the team scored double points nevertheless, so we take that as a positive. We’ve debriefed and we can now take that knowledge into Montreal and the races beyond in order to bring our performance up to a higher level.

How will you approach this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix?

First of all, it is great to come back to Canada. It feels like it’s been a while and I know it’s one of the more popular races on the calendar. The track in Montreal has slow chicanes and fast straights, and we’ve shown to be fast in a straight line, so hopefully that should help us this weekend.

The aim will be to have a smooth weekend, go through our programme without any issues, show our pace in Qualifying, and score some good points on Sunday. I am already looking forward to getting in the car again.

You last raced at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 2018. What are you most looking forward to this weekend?

It does feel like a lifetime ago since then, especially as it’s a place where I really enjoy racing. Last time I raced there I finished ninth, so I will definitely be looking to improve on that result.

I always have strong support there with the French speaking Canadian fans and the big French community of Montreal, so I know the atmosphere will be great, which adds a good feeling to the whole weekend. Canadian fans are passionate, and I am sure that they are buzzing to have Formula 1 back, after three years. Now let’s hope we can put on a good performance all weekend.
