Esteban Ocon says racing his Formula 1 rivals in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix helped his Alpine team spot weak areas where to improve its 2024 car.
The opening two rounds of the season in Bahrain and Jeddah confirmed what pre-season testing had suggested, as Alpine struggled at the back of the field with the slowest car. In the latter race, from 17th on the grid, Ocon passed Sauber's Valtteri Bottas at the start and, after the safety car period, he ran in the group delayed by Kevin Magnussen, which also included Yuki Tsunoda and Alex Albon.

But there is a lot to improve still, and we are aware of it.' Ocon stressed that despite the respectable improvement on his grid position in Jeddah, he didn't feel that he could compete with other cars. 'I couldn't really fight,' he said.
