Reviewing Esteban Ocon’s Performance at the Hungarian Grand Prix
Esteban Ocon‘s 2025 Formula 1 season has been a mix of highs and lows. After fourteen rounds, he holds 10th place in the driver standings with 27 points. However, the Hungarian Grand Prix proved challenging for Ocon, who struggled during qualifying and failed to secure a notable finish in the race.
Speaking after the event, Ocon reflected on the difficulties faced during the weekend.
“It was a difficult day for sure. We struggled a little bit, especially towards the end, as I think the cars behind were a bit quicker on fresher tires. We got ahead of them, so we gave ourselves the opportunity. It was a solid start, but we need to work on how we can get the car a little bit more under control and get more pace throughout the race,”
he said in an interview on Haas F1’s official platform.
Looking Ahead to Upcoming Races and Potential Paddock Appearances
As the 2025 season continues, Esteban Ocon prepares for the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, which kicks off on August 29. Fans may also see Flavy Barla making more appearances alongside him at upcoming events. Their combined presence on and off the track demonstrates the blending of Ocon’s racing career with Barla’s rising public profile, creating a notable couple in the world of Formula 1 and fashion.
