Esteban Ocon: A lot will become clear on Friday

      The Melbourne stage is Esteban Ocon's first for Haas F1. The Frenchman is pleased with the test results and looks forward to Friday's training sessions with moderate optimism.…

      Esteban Ocon: "So far, we are fully following our program. There's nothing we were going to do with the new car, but we didn't, and we'll figure out the rest soon. We have prepared well for the start of the season, and when we see any weaknesses in the car, we will work on them.

      The first two days went well in the tests, the car turned out to be reliable, and I was happy with it. On the third day, there were some problems, the car suffered some damage in the morning, and the wind picked up, which made it difficult to interpret the results, but much will become clear during the first Friday practice sessions. Tomorrow we will be able to talk more precisely about the shape we are starting the season in and what we can expect. We'll wait until Friday, but overall I'm optimistic."
