On Thursday before the start of the Austrian Grand Prix, Esteban Ocon spoke about his contract situation for next season. According to the French driver, who will leave Alpine at the end of the season, negotiations with the new team are not going well.
Esteban Ocon: “The negotiations are now at an advanced stage. The conversations are productive, so I have confidence in my future. I hope everything will be resolved soon and we can make an official statement.
Like I said, I’m sure, but until the papers are signed… You understand. You know, at the end of 2018 I was also sure that I would have a contract, but then I couldn’t sign it for various reasons. Now I already have similar experience.
As I said, negotiations are currently proceeding productively and I hope that everything will be resolved quickly. There are many options, but I won’t say which one is my priority.”
