Esteban Ocon won't be racing full time in 2019, but he will be busy testing for Mercedes. Before he gets a chance to test Formula 1 cars though, he'll get a go in an electric car to help preparations for the Andros Trophy in January.

The Andros Trophy is a series of racing which takes place on a snow track. Ocon will take part in tests ahead of the events, and while he was in Andorra, he confirmed his role.

"As a visitor, I was there to see Dorian Boccolacci, a friend of mine. We love motorsport and miss it in the winter," Ocon told Motorsport.

"It does not come to a race, his role remains purely for tests. I will be at Isola 2000 for the test. And I am also in Paris for the last round in Stade de France in February."
