When Esteban Ocon signed with Haas a year ago, he was looking for a healthier working environment than the one he left behind at Alpine. Halfway through 2025, he believes the move is paying off – both in terms of results and the atmosphere inside the team.
Having previously endured turbulent relationships with team-mates such as Pierre Gasly at Alpine and Sergio Perez at Force India, Ocon says he is now genuinely enjoying working alongside Oliver Bearman. The Frenchman points to the pair’s shared enthusiasm for racing – and the absence of politics – as the foundation of their strong partnership.
