Esteban Ocon could find himself driving for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Williams this season, Ted Kravitz has tipped.

The Sky Sports reporter shared a whisper from the paddock at the F1 ไBritish Grand Prix that a mooted sw✅ap could be on the cards.

Ocon will leave Alpine at the end of this season, and hasn’t yet found a new home for 2025 and bey🍌ond, while Williams are placing Logan Sargeant under intense scrutiny to keep hold of his race seat.

Williams boss James Vow♔les’ faith in Sꦓargeant this year is wavering, however.

“He essentially said that circumstances have changed - ‘we are continually evaluating our driver line-up and we are open-minded towards things’,” Kravitz sai🌄🃏d on Sky Sports.

“I asked him for clarification and he said ‘I have told Logan what is expected of him, and if he is not deliveri🌟ng, we have to look at things…’

“But who could replace Sargeant mid-season?

“Kimi Antonelli? Unlikely. Mer📖cedes want him to compl🎶ete his Formula 2 season but it’s not impossible.

“Jack Doohan or Liam Lawson? Unlikely.”

Kravitz then revealed: “What is being rumoured around the paddock is that Alpine could suggest an early release for Esteba🐓n Ocon, who could go to Williams.

“Alpine could get Do🐟ohan in for an early debut ahead of a potential full-time race driver next year.

“Thꦦat swap could enable Williams to have an experienced hand, like Ocon, in their car. Maybe after the summer break.”

It would represent a huge decision for both Williams and Alpine, and another colossal piece of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2025 F1 driver line-up jigsaw.

However, it would deliver a far more experienced teammate for Alex Albon at Willia🦩ms, should the swap materialise.

And it would allow Alpine to get rid of Ocon even earlier than they intend to do, while essentially trialling one o⭕f the key contenders to take his 2025 drive.
