Ocon hails ‘great recovery for Haas as he rises from P17 to P10

Esteban Ocon delivered a "great recovery" for Haas at the Austrian Grand Prix, climbing from a P17 start to secure a valuable point in tenth place. The Frenchman skillfully managed his tyre strategy, highlighting the strong race pace of the VF-24 despite a challenging qualifying session. Ocon expressed satisfaction, noting the car's reliability and solid performance, though he acknowledged the need for improved qualifying pace. Team Principal Ayao Komatsu, while pleased with the recovery, suggested that a one-stop strategy might have yielded an even better result for Ocon. Meanwhile, teammate Ollie Bearman finished P11, acting as a crucial buffer for Ocon, despite struggling with his own middle stint.
