Ocon Says F1 Drivers Share a Leak‑Proof WhatsApp Group

Ocon describes a rare off‑record space that he says keeps driver conversations leak‑free.

Overview

  • Speaking to French outlet Clique, the Haas driver said all 22 racers are in the private chat and use it for candid exchanges.
  • Ocon characterized the tone as mostly serious with occasional jokes, cautioning fans not to expect drama from its contents.
  • He singled out Isack Hadjar as a quiet participant and jokingly urged him to speak up more.
  • Reports note the group gives figures such as Franco Colapinto, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton a forum free from outside interpretation.
  • Coverage adds that no messages from the chat have leaked or been officially acknowledged by others, as pre‑season testing moves from Barcelona to Bahrain before the March 8 opener in Australia.
