The chances of Esteban Ocon winning a Formula 1 seat next year have not completely disappeared. The Frenchman saw Williams pick the newcomer George Russell, but it is still possible that he could go for the other seat. According to him, the discussions are still in progress

The only option left to Ocon for next year is Williams. Last week, this team broke the link with the successor of Lance Stroll, who leaves for Force India. George Russell will take his place. For Ocon, there is only the possibility to follow Sirotkin. Claire Williams has already indicated that Ocon is still on the picture and this confirms the young Frenchman: "There is still a second seat and we still have conversations, so we will see what comes out," he says Sky Sports .

Ocon has no resentment towards Russell, he wishes to emphasize it again. According to him, it is a logical choice to allow him to join Formula 1: "Congratulations to George, I really thought he is at a different stage of his career and did not really steal my place. good to see that he is promoting ". In addition, Ocon says that Russell, among other conditions, has come to Williams that he is not looking for it. That's what he's still fighting in the negotiations right now: "He signed for several years and it was not our intention, if they wanted it, that would be good news."
