Esteban Ocon puts himself in Top Gear!

Before his return next year to F1, new Renault recruit Esteban Ocon kicked off the sixth season of France's very own Top Gear show on Thursday.

The 23-year-old put a Megan RS - his company car by the way - through its paces during the show's hot lap sequence, becoming the first active F1 driver to take part in the Top Gear France fastest lap challenge.
