Ocon’s future is within the headlines
“If somebody needs to jot down a rant like that, be at liberty. However rattling, is that journalism? I do not know, it is horrible. What are they attempting to perform? It is insane and has no foundation in something. Has anybody ever heard me say one thing like that? Unbelievable.”

It is only a fucking cow***, gossip.”

“So, I do not pay any consideration to it. However some French journalists decide it up.

Are you attempting to denigrate French drivers? What’s your goal? Identical to bull****.”

It is not even about distorting my phrases. “There are zero information and it has nothing to do with what I mentioned, as a result of I did not say something like that.” It is unbelievable. ”
Mr. Ocon himself expressed anger on the report early Thursday.
