Esteban Ocon Reacts to Abrupt Alpine Exit Before Abu Dhabi GP

The French driver expresses disappointment after being replaced by Jack Doohan for the season finale, marking an unexpected end to his Alpine tenure.

Esteban Ocon was replaced by rookie Jack Doohan for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, ending his five-season stint with Alpine earlier than expected.
Ocon had planned to race in Abu Dhabi and personally bid farewell to the team but will now focus on postseason testing with Haas, his 2025 team.
The decision to replace Ocon allows Doohan to debut in Formula 1 ahead of his full-time Alpine seat next season, gaining valuable race experience.
Ocon reflected on his time at Alpine, highlighting key achievements such as his Hungarian GP win and contributing to the team's 2022 fourth-place finish in the Constructors' Championship.
Despite a challenging season, Ocon expressed gratitude to the Alpine team and extended his best wishes to Doohan for his debut race.
