Usually, Ocon does not garner as much attention individually. He often comes up in conversation while speaking about other drivers. His 2018 fight with Max Verstappen in Brazil is a classic example of this trend. Even in 2022, Ocon consistently clashed with his world champion teammate Fernando Alonso.
Even after Alonso has left Alpine for 2023, Esteban ain’t getting enough spotlight. Especially after his fellow Frenchman Pierre Gasly came to replace Fernando, Ocon will have to again probably share the spotlight this season. Regardless, these are some moments that give Estie Bestie his moment in the sun.
