Share
On the latest instalment of Through the Visor, Esteban Ocon talks us through the “tough moment” in which he lost out on a podium place to Valtteri Bottas at the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Ocon had been running in third for much of the evening but came under pressure from the Mercedes of Bottas in the last few laps of the race. The Alpine driver did well to stay ahead of the Finn initially but lost out in the dying seconds of the race as Bottas overtook him in dramatic fashion as they took the chequered flag.
Listen to Ocon talking us through his strategy in the last few laps, the issues he faced in the car and what he felt he should have done differently, as well as getting an insight into the detailed communication between the Frenchman and his Alpine pit wall.
