Ocon talks to Wolff and keeps Mercedes option open

Esteban Ocon's contract expires after this year and it remains to be seen whether he can stay at Alpine. The Frenchman is also looking at opportunities elsewhere, and Mercedes are not immediately ruled out, the 27-year-old driver told reporters ahead of the weekend in Imola. Ocon's interests are looked after by Toto Wolff, and the same Toto Wolff is still looking for a replacement for Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes.
