Haas driver Esteban Ocon says it's frustrating in his place: 'When I look back on all the other drivers of my generation…'
Image credit: Esteban Ocon/Instagram Esteban Ocon moved from Alpine to Haas this season but is yet to secure a podium for his new team. It seems the Formula 1 driver is now getting a bit impatient and restless while feeling the absence of a race-winning car. He is from the generation of Max Verstappen, who is already the reigning number one champion and, this year too, is aiming for a championship win with two victories in his kitty already. This is making Ocon even more frustrated. Esteban Ocon on his desire to have a race-winning car Sharing his feelings on falling short of what's needed for a race win or at least a shot at the podium, Esteban Ocon told in an interview, "It is frustrating, yes, when I look back on all the other drivers of my generation, they've all had a shot at a race-winning car at one point.' 'I'm probably the only one who's never really had the chance to drive one of these cars, but I believe with the right work ethic, how much I put into questioning myself, what I can do better. The amount of work I put in, between the factory, the simulator, with the engineers, and doing a good job on track, it will eventually come at one point,' he added. The Haas driver is still waiting for a race-winning car like Ferrari while currently standing in 10th position in the 2025 Formula 1 Driver Standings with 20 points.

Currently, Hamilton is driving for Ferrari and is yet to win his debut race as part of the team. When Piastri's achievements were highlighted on X, the Formula 1 fans only had praise for the young McLaren driver, who is only in his third season. A fan reacted to the tweet about Piastri, 'Future World Champion for sure.' Another wrote, 'Among the GOATs.' One more said, 'Piastri's on fire, consistency turning into greatness.' A comment also read: 'Living legend OSCAR.' A Formula 1 fan also highlighted the actual facts behind the record. The tweet read: 'How many wins among those 8 podiums? Senna - 6, Piastri - 5, Hamilton - 2.'
