Was Ocon really the right choice?

I was never opposed to Ocon joining the team as he had many great races and was ahead of gasly most of this season, but the last few races where the alpine was really strong, apart from brazil (where he drove supurb) he was behind gasly and by a lot. When gasly got in Q3, Ocon was out in Q1.

I’m a big KMag guy and honestly haven’t been a Ocon fan, I’ve been a hater actually. Ocon has been in worse machinery all year compared to Pierre. Ocon is very talented driver, and when he joins he will be the most talented driver Haas has ever had. He’s a bit of a cunt at times, but he’s a good driver no doubt.

Sure.

Let's calm down a bit.

What other driver has Haas had to this point that’s had more raw talent than him? Romain? It’s not saying a lot but I feel it’s true. Not like we’ve had much to compare with

Probably Hulk tbh. I think Hulk and Ocon are very comparable (their stats with Perez as a teammate are similar)

Ocon is good but idk if he is better than Hulk

As much as I love Hulk, I don't know if he could've done what Ocon did at a race like Saudi Arabia 2021.
