Esteban Ocon is very happy with his result in the Grand Prix of Belgium last weekend. The young Frenchman finished fifth, behind teammate Daniel Ricciardo. He looks forward to the race at Monza next week.
It was a good weekend for Renault. The French racing team achieved a record number of points in Belgium, 23 to be precise. The team had never been able to do that before. In the race, they showed that they are a team to be reckoned with, especially on the straights, which is of course a good thing at the Monza circuit.
In front of Ziggo Sport's cameras, Ocon says he's glad he was faster than Red Bull driver Alexander Albon. "I think the fifth position was really for me today. At the start I won a position and Daniel and I drove close to each other. Unfortunately I lost a position at the pit stops under the safety car, so I think we can improve on that."
Faster than Red Bull
"In the end, we were faster than Red Bull," the 23-year-old Frenchman says smiling. "That is of course very good news in view of next week. Next week we are going to do the same. No, we are going to try to do better!"
