Esteban Ocon will take up a test and reserve role for Mercedes in the 2019 F1 season after making his last race start for Force India this weekend.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said the plans for Ocon’s future are now “pretty clear.”
“He’s going to be very close to the works team for Mercedes, he’s going to be our reserve driver and third driver,” said Toto Wolff.
Ocon, a Mercedes junior driver, entered F1 with Manor in 2016 and has spent the last two seasons with Force India.
