Ocon on measuring up to teammates: "Unbelievable how he gets involved"

Esteban Ocon's eventful season had both highs and lows. Although by the end of the season he could start closing the gap to his then-teammate Daniel Ricciardo, the challenge he faces next year will come in the shape of Fernando Alonso.

Despite the poor start to his season, Ocon was able to take his first podium finish this year. A one-stop strategy ensured that he finished second in Bahrain. Despite this, it was mainly a season of getting used to the car and trying to keep up with his team mate Ricciardo.

In the light of the comparison with Ricciardo, Ocon sets its target for 2021 as follows, as quoted by Motorsport-Total.com. "I've shown that I can deal with difficult moments. The team can rely on me. I hope that in my second year I can give Renault what Daniel has done this year."

While matching Ricciardo's talents is an ambitious goal in itself, the Ocon is made all the more difficult by Fernando Alonso's return to Formula 1, the man who likes teammates for breakfast. Ocon says the following about his future teammate: "It's unbelievable how Fernando gets involved and how he is already getting the whole team going."
