2024 BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX

2024 SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon maintained his record of never being out-qualified by a team-mate in Jeddah but lost his 100% Q3 appearance rate at the track in qualifying for the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. As he was lapped in the race, Ocon also lost his place in the club of drivers who’ve raced every Grand Prix lap to date at Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
With 13th place, Ocon recorded his worst Saudi Arabian Grand Prix result to date. This was the first time that the Frenchman failed to score at Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
2024 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon became the first Alpine driver to reach Q2 in 2024 at the Australian Grand Prix. He recorded his fourth Q2 exit from his five appearances at the Australian Grand Prix. Ocon was one of only two drivers to finish the race in a worse position than where he started, losing a single position over the course of the race.

2024 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon qualified and finished 15th at the 2024 Japanese Grand Prix. This was Ocon’s worst qualifying and race result at Suzuka since qualifying and finishing 21st with Manor at the 2016 Japanese Grand Prix.
2024 CHINESE GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon continued his record of out-qualifying his team-mate at every race so far in 2024 at the Chinese Grand Prix.

2024 MIAMI GRAND PRIX
With tenth place in the 2024 Miami Grand Prix, Esteban Ocon scored Alpine’s first point of the 2024 season.

2024 MONACO GRAND PRIX
Although he missed out on a place in Q3, Esteban Ocon recorded his best qualifying result of the year to date with 11th place. Sunday was last successful, as Ocon was out on the first lap following a collision with his Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly. It was the sixth first lap retirement of Ocon’s career – his first since the 2021 Austrian Grand Prix. This was Ocon’s first retirement since the 2023 United States Grand Prix and the first time he ever failed to finish the Monaco Grand Prix.
2024 CANADIAN GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon was eliminated in Q1, losing his 100% Q3 appearance rate at the Canadian Grand Prix. This was Ocon’s third Q1 exit of the 2024 season – his first since the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Following Charles Leclerc’s retirement, Ocon became the only current driver with a 100% points-finishing record at the Canadian Grand Prix. The 2024 race was Ocon’s fifth points-scoring race at the track, overtaking Gilles Villeneuve as the driver who has made the most appearances at the track without recording a non-points finish.
2024 SPANISH GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon recorded his best qualifying results of the year to date at the 2024 Spanish Grand prix with ninth place.

2024 AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon qualified 10th for the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix.

This was Ocon’s fourth Q3 appearance from his nine outings at the Red Bull Ring.
2024 BRITISH GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon’s 18th place in qualifying for the 2024 British Grand Prix marked the first time that he qualified outside of the top 15, or exited in Q1, at Silverstone.

2024 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX

2024 BELGIAN GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon reached Q3 for the third time this season. This marked Alpine’s first Q3 appearance since Ocon was last in Q3 at the Austrian Grand Prix. Ocon finished the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix in ninth place, recording his best finish of the season to date – and his best result since finishing fourth in the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Ocon’s ninth place marked his seventh consecutive points-scoring appearance at the Belgian Grand Prix.
2024 DUTCH GRAND PRIX
With 17th place, Esteban Ocon equalled Alpine’s worst qualifying result to date at the Dutch Grand Prix. He also qualified 17th with the team here last year. This was the first time since the Spanish Grand Prix that Ocon was out-qualified by his team-mate.
Ocon finished 15th in the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix, failing to score a point for the first time in his four F1 appearances at Zandvoort. Ocon’s 15th place marked the first time that an Alpine driver failed to score in the last four Dutch Grands Prix.
2024 ITALIAN GRAND PRIX
Qualifying 15th, Esteban Ocon continued his record of having not reached Q3 at the Italian Grand Prix since 2018.
2024 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon made his 150th Grand Prix start this weekend. He became the 45th driver to have started as many as 150 Grands Prix. The 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix also marked his 100th consecutive start, making him the 35th driver to have started 100 consecutive races.
For the first time since the 2022 Miami Grand Prix – where he failed to set a lap time – Ocon was slowest of the 20 drivers in qualifying. This was the first time Ocon qualified outside of the top 13 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Finishing 15th, Ocon was the only driver to record the same result in the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix as he did at the track in 2023.
2024 SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX
With Esteban Ocon qualifying 15th and Pierre Gasly out in Q1, this was the first time since 2016 that neither of the Enstone team’s drivers qualified in the top ten at the Singapore Grand Prix. Finishing 13th, Ocon crossed the finish line at the Singapore Grand Prix for the first time since 2018. 2018 remains the only time he has scored a point at Marina Bay Street Circuit.
2024 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon qualified 13th for the 2024 United States Grand Prix – his best qualifying result since reaching Q3 at the Belgian Grand Prix. For the first time in his career, in the race, Ocon secured the fastest lap. Ocon took his first fastest lap on his 152nd attempt. Only two drivers have made more starts before taking the fastest lap for the first time: Jarno Trulli (203) and Jenson Button (155). This was the time that Alpine secured the fastest lap. It was the first time since the 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that the Enstone team set the fastest lap of the race, back when they were known as Renault.
2024 MEXICO CITY GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon qualified on the back row for the fourth time this season at the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix. Although he failed to score in the race, Ocon made up seven positions – the most places he has gained in a race in Mexico to date.
2024 SAO PAULO GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon qualified fourth for the 2024 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, his first top five qualifying result since qualifying fourth for the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix. It equalled the second-best qualifying result of his career. The only time Ocon has qualified higher was at the 2018 Belgian Grand Prix, where he qualified third. This was only the second time, after 2022, that Ocon reached Q3 at Interlagos.
Ocon finished second in the race, recording the fourth podium finish of his career – his first since the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix. This was his best result since his victory at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix and his first second place finish since his maiden podium at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix. Ocon’s second place marked the first time he has scored a point, or finished in the top 12, in a Grand Prix since the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix. Ocon had never previously finished in the top seven at Interlagos.
2024 LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX
Having finished fourth in the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Esteban Ocon finished only 17th in the 2024 race. That was despite qualifying six places further up the grid in 2024 than in 2023.
2024 QATAR GRAND PRIX
With Pierre Gasly out in Q2 and Esteban Ocon qualifying last, the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix was the first race since the Singapore Grand Prix at which neither driver reached Q3. Esteban Ocon qualified in 20th place, marking the first time that an Alpine driver failed to make it out of Q1 in Qatar, with neither of the team’s drivers having qualified outside of the top ten prior to 2024. The Qatar Grand Prix was the second time in 2024 that Ocon set the slowest qualifying lap time. He also did so in Azerbaijan. Ocon is one of three drivers – along with Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll – to be out-qualified by their team-mate at all three Qatar Grand Prix weekends to date.
Ocon’s race came to an end at the opening corner. He recorded his first retirement since the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix, where he also retired on the first lap. After the race, it emerged that the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix was Ocon’s final appearance with Alpine.
2024 ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX
Esteban Ocon missed the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, with Jack Doohan taking his seat. The race was therefore the first F1 race not to feature Ocon on the grid since the 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, ending a streak of 106 consecutive starts for the French driver.
