    Hopefully Checo will get out of his way, if he needs to.

    Great guy, great attitude, extremely quick. IMO one of the guys that's the future. He's been consistently there with Perez, a seasoned racer and noted for his consistency and also quick.

    His dad is a mechanic who owns a garage. Gotta love that.

    Agreed. Love it. I'm going to start a separate appreciation thread for Ocon's hair.

    After watching him in practice in Montreal, I'm a fan of the Okie from Normandy.

    Ocon's family is from Spain.

    He is driving very very well, I've been enjoying watching him out there. A lot more level-headed than most, but shows fire when necessary. Will be interesting to watch his career develop.

    Ferrari should give him a serious look.

    +1 happy to see Kimi move on or Vettel. We need new blood and fire. Time for Ferrari to give someone like Ocon a seat. Ferrari are the old age pensioner team with drivers. Id welcome a new approach. Ocon and Max LOL. Im just having fun with the idea. I know it will not take shape.

    Lots of people called for Ferrari to take Perez in after he first showed up driving the Sauber, remember that? Then he went to McLaren and didn't really do that much...

    Better to observe for now...

    Gee, thanks for the completely pointless clarification. Alesi's parents were Sicilian, believe Mario A. was born in a European country and I'm fairly certain a WDC named Nico has a father from Finland. I suppose all three raced under flags of convenience. Unquestionably Gilles should have had the Tricolor after his name on the 27.....;)

    Altogether now, Okie was born and raised in France.....

    I guess we will not be expecting Perez to join in the praise now ....

    I want to keep Vettel but Ocon next to him would be great.

    Others I would accept - Sainz, Perez, Max (not likely), or Danny R (not likely)
