Meanwhile, for Ocon, the 2025 F1 season has been a roller coaster ride. He had an outstanding outing in China, finishing P5. However, in the recently concluded Imola GP, he faced a mechanical failure, resulting in an unfortunate DNF.
With 14 points in seven races, the French driver is placed P9 in the championship race, whereas his teammate, Bearman, struggling at P16 with six points.
Esteban Ocon reviews Imola GP after DNF
Esteban Ocon's Imola Grand Prix came to an abrupt end on lap 29 as an air consumption issue forced him to retire. Initially, Ocon went for an aggressive strategy by pitting for hard tires on lap 1. However, the mechanical failure cost him dearly.
Talking to the media after the race, Ocon said via F1,
“We basically boxed [early] to try something different, and we were ahead of quite a lot of cars at that point. Unfortunately, the [tire] degradation was much higher for me, which was quite unexpected, so this is something we need to understand. It wasn’t going to be a great race, to be fair. Plenty for us to review from this weekend, and hopefully we can come back stronger in the next one."
Apart from Esteban Ocon, his teammate Oliver Bearman also had an underwhelming race as he finished P17. The young British driver revealed that he had an awful pit stop in the first half claiming the crew didn't fit his wheels tightly, resulting in a loss of time and performance.
