Esteban José Jean-Pierre Ocon-Khelfane (French pronunciation: [ɛs.te.ban ɔ.kɔ̃]; born 17 September 1996) is a French racing driver, who is set to compete in Formula One for Haas. Ocon won the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix with Alpine.
Born and raised in Normandy to a working class family, Ocon began competitive kart racing aged nine, winning several national and international titles. Graduating to junior formulae in 2012, Ocon won his first title at the 2014 FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Prema, ahead of Tom Blomqvist and Max Verstappen. Ocon then won the 2015 GP3 Series with ART, achieving 14 podiums in 18 races. A member of the Mercedes Junior Team since 2015, Ocon made his Formula One debut at the 2016 Belgian Grand Prix with Manor, replacing Rio Haryanto for the remainder of the 2016 season. He moved to Force India—who later became Racing Point—in 2017, partnering Sergio Pérez. After two seasons, Ocon left Racing Point at the end of 2018, becoming a reserve driver for Mercedes in 2019.
Ocon returned as a full-time driver with Renault in 2020, taking his maiden podium finish at the Sakhir Grand Prix. Retaining his seat for 2021, Ocon partnered Fernando Alonso at the re-branded Alpine, taking his maiden victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix. After a less successful 2022 campaign, during which he became the first teammate to outscore Alonso in the championship since Jenson Button in 2015, Ocon achieved his third podium at the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix. In 2024—his final season at Alpine—Ocon achieved his maiden fastest lap in the United States, followed by a fourth career podium at the rain-affected São Paulo Grand Prix.
As of the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Ocon has achieved one race win, one fastest lap and four podiums in Formula One. Ocon left Alpine after the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix, and is set to join Haas in 2025.
