The Frenchman's five-year stay at the Enstone outfit has yielded a race victory and two further podium finishes, achievements that will ensure that he is coveted by a handful of teams with seats available for next season.
Speaking at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, before his impending Alpine departure was announced, Ocon stated that "the important thing is to be secure as early as possible," as he was keen not to suffer a repeat of 2019 - where he was left on the sidelines when Racing Point/Force India replaced him with Lance Stroll.
