Esteban Ocon: Struggles with Car Balance

Rotowire2 days ago

Ocon finished 14th in the Canadian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

The Haas F1 veteran started 17th on the grid after a tough qualifying session. Ocon would employ soft tyres for this opening stint on a damp race track. The two stop pit strategy would see him pit on lap 17 for medium tyres and then again on lap 32 for soft tyres once more. Struggles with car balance would lead to several lock ups under braking and a generally slower pace. Ocon would be stuck in the midfield without much opportunity to climb the order. Retirements would help boost his finishing place to P14 by the checkered flag.
