Many people speculate that history could repeat itself with him partnering with Ricciardo at Renault F1.
Esteban Ocon was a part of Mercedes‘ junior driver program. But Mercedes F1’s inability to find him an F1 seat in 2019 made him rethink his future at the team. Last year it was announced that his association with the Silver Arrows will end when he moves to Renault replacing Nico Hulkenberg in 2020.
