Esteban Ocon held firm against Lewis Hamilton at Suzuka, ex-Red Bull driver Christian Klien believing that the Frenchman is underrated. F1
Did Lewis Hamilton battle highlight Esteban Ocon is underrated in F1?Esteban Ocon resembled a brick wall as he kept Lewis Hamilton at bay in Japan, leading to the suggestion he is flying under the radar in F1.
Hamilton had a pace advantage in his W13, but Ocon’s Alpine was more effective in a straight line. If DRS had been active, the speed boost from that would have likely rendered the Alpine’s straight-line pace redundant, but that is not how it played out. Behind them, Alonso was also enjoying the benefit as he made a late pit-stop for fresh intermediate tyres, his rise back up the order completed with a pass on Russell to finish P7.
“And I think anyway Esteban is a little bit of an underrated driver. He has a lot of good races that are a little bit under the radar sometimes.”The Frenchman has previously commented on his performance level against Alonso, regarded still as one of the elite talents on the Formula 1 grid., back in 2007 in what was his rookie F1 season with McLaren.
