Alpine said they will announce their 2025 line-up in “due course” while Ocon – who will continue to race for Alpine for the remainder of the season – said he would confirm his future “soon”.

Ocon added: “It’s been a significant period of my life to be racing at this team in Formula 1. While I’ve been here for five years as a full-time racing driver, my professional career started at Enstone back when I was a teenager, so it will always be a special place for me.
