Well well. Alonso retuning to Renault. About as likely as Kimi returning to Ferrari. But that happened too.

I guess we will see what he still has. It's almost a shame Daniel will be gone when it happens, since we know the car isn't strong and Ocon really won't be a good gauge of Fernando's pace ability.

Ferrari in need! They will take Kimi back for sure!

I'm genuinely hoping that Ocon is on pace next year and gives Frednando a run for his money. That should kick off some fireworks.

Fred to test R.S.20 on Tues?

It's not known whether the team will also take an older 2018 car, which will not be subject to any mileage restrictions, following the strategy used by AlphaTauri at Imola earlier this year.
Renault has such a car ready to go, as it ran Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon in a two-day test in Austria before the start of the season.

How quick/strong do you think Fernando is going to be at his age especially coming back after 2 years out?

Not sure what he has been smoking but my brother reckons Ocon will beat him!
His main reason for thinking that.. is how much Michael struggled on his comeback with Merc to beat Nico and largely failed.
Also... Ocon will have a fresh season under his belt after a 2 year hiatus while Fernando is starting afresh.

Just cant see it. Personally I still think Fernando will easily outperform him.

Predictions?

The main argument against your brother is that Ocon is no Nico Rosberg - hell, he isn't even a Dan Ricciardo. Maybe Fernando will struggle at the beginning of the season, but I would expect him to be on par with Ocon pretty quickly and ahead of him in the later part of next season.

[Nitrodaze]

I think Ocon with one full season under his belt would give Alonso a good run for his money. But Alonso is a tiger, he would find a way to get ahead or at least be on par. Ocon is quick, so don't under estimate him.

[Tazio]

I will be very surprised if Ocon can hang with Fred, and I think he (Ocon) is a pretty good country pilot. If Fred doesn't methodically destroy his will to live, they should be a stout pair!
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
