After a year away from the sport, Esteban Ocon is back. Having spent some time as Mercedes reserve and test driver, the Frenchman has returned to the grid for Renault and has already spotted the difference between the two teams.
"Formula 1 is all about the details and it is clear that Mercedes is now better than Renault in everything. That makes sense because otherwise, you won't win those six titles. However, now I am a Renault driver and I will do everything in my power to bring Renault back to the top,” said Ocon to GQ Magazine.
"We must keep our feet on the ground and aim for fourth place. That is realistic for Renault. We do not yet have the speed for the top three, but we will. We work hard every day to get better, but it's not easy in a fast-growing environment like Formula 1."
Renault had a poor 2019 and will hope that having a Frenchman back at the team will spark a successful 2020.
