Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #49 Esteban Ocon
14th in Formula 1 World Championship
Top 50 Drivers of 2024
Autosport's team of expert journalists got together to try to assess who were the top 50 drivers of 2024. Here are the results.
On the face of it, Esteban Ocon’s second-place finish in the Brazilian Grand Prix might be doing a lot of heavy lifting here, but it’s easy to overlook a handful of other impressive moments in a difficult final season with Alpine.
Ocon led a decent portion of that Interlagos race, and this performance was supplemented with 10th in Miami – with a still-awful car – and ninth at the Belgian GP after beating team-mate Pierre Gasly handily.
Alpine’s attention shifted to Gasly when Ocon’s split with the team was declared for 2025, which eventually happened a race early when Jack Doohan made his debut in the Abu Dhabi season finale.
