Esteban Ocon thinks the embattled French GP could make a comeback at Le Mans. “It’s sad,” Frenchman Ocon, who drives for Renault-owned Alpine, said at Spa. “We have a huge automotive heritage in France so it is very possible that the grand prix will come back. Perhaps it won’t be Paul Ricard, but it will come back. “We have Le Mans which has all the possible infrastructure, so it would not be difficult to organise the Grand Prix there,” Ocon added. Indeed, Alfa Romeo boss Frederic Vasseur – who like Ocon is French – thinks there are France-specific reasons why the Formula 1 event collapsed.
