Esteban Ocon joined the Mercedes academy after winning the 2014 F3 European Championship.

Esteban Ocon has again raised the possibility that he could switch to Mercedes as he declared himself a “ Mercedes junior” in his mind.

But having got back into a full-time seat with Renault in 2020, he is now being linked with a move back to Brackley as the Silver Arrows look to replace Lewis Hamilton. “I’m still in my mind a Mercedes junior,” he told media in Imola including PlanetF1.com. “The management side, that hasn’t changed since 2015.Asked if he is faced with a conflict of interest of driving for one team while being linked with another with a vacant seat, Ocon did not entirely agree but said he did not want to have another season on the sidelines.“We’ll see about that, I don’t think that’s the topic for now,” he said.

“I don’t want to pay the price the second time like there was at the end of 2018, which was not a good memory, it was not for performance reasons.
