Esteban Ocon will be back behind a F1 steering wheel for the first session of free-practice at Silverstone with Renault.


While Ocon was originally set to out for Renault during the Austrian week-end, the worrying results of Renault at Baku prevented him from going out at the Red Bull Ring. The Frenchman will have the Silverstone FP1 as a compensation in Kevin Magnussen’s car.

Ocon has a busy week ahead of him as he will drive for Mercedes during in-season testing before leaving for DTM at Zandvoort.
