Ocon's touch of class as he becomes first driver to congratulate Russell
Following the announcement made by Williams this morning, Esteban Ocon looks more and more likely to miss out on a seat in F1 next season. George Russell fills another vacant seat to leave just four available.
See the Williams announcement here!
The Force India driver was amongst the first drivers to congratulate Russell for bagging a drive.
Congratulations to @GeorgeRussell63 for his @F1 promotion ! Well deserved, and great news for our sport !@WilliamsRacing @MercedesAMGF1

Lance Stroll looks more and more likely to replace Ocon at Racing Point, a team that his father owns. With Sergey Sirotkin and Robert Kubica seemingly battling it out for the second seat at Williams, there doesn't seem to be a lot available for Ocon.
Still, his congratulation shows what class he has.
