Before being recruited by Mercedes, Esteban Ocon was part of the Lotus F1 Team junior programme and as such spent his maiden Formula One outing driving the race-winning E20 at Valencia.

The 18-year-old Frenchman was then handed his first ever FP1 drive at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Driving the lacklustre E22, Ocon still managed to make a strong impression by finishing a mere three tenths off Pastor Maldonado.
