A reserve driver of the caliber of Esteban Ocon - forced off the grid by circumstances - can't be happy just waiting in wings, even when your team conquers the day.

On the other, the fact that the Silver Arrows' star driver in Melbourne was Valtteri Bottas - the man whose seat at Mercedes many believe Ocon aspires to fill - likely tingled the Frenchman deep down.
For now unfortunately, waiting is the only game Ocon can play.
