Ocon: “It was my best session”

Esteban Ocon won his second Q3 of the season at Silverstone on Saturday, the first on a dry track. Enough to make the French smile. “ It was clearly my best session in normal conditions, where I felt the best. We really worked better. »

Renault places its two cars in the top 10, which shows the manufacturer's good form. “ We have made great progress since Budapest” smiled Ocon. “ We are back in the match on all points. Even if McLaren is better than us in the fast corners, of which there are many at Silverstone. »

Ocon finishes just behind Daniel Ricciardo. The Frenchman, ahead of his teammate for the majority of the weekend, lost in Q3. “ I was really good in Q1 and at the start of Q2. The second run was less good and we had difficulties in Q3, the car was trickier. We missed something and the hierarchy was reversed. But it's a good fight. »

In the race, the rookie systematically finished behind Ricciardo. He remains on two fourteenth places and one retirement in Styria. So no points. Silverstone is a great opportunity to take off. On this circuit Esteban Ocon scored in the points during his two participations in 2017 and 2018 at the wheel of a Force India. Never two without three.
