Esteban Ocon has said that he is the one who puts himself under the most pressure, despite there being high expectations of him since he made his F1 début in Belgium earlier this month.
A Mercedes test driver who had spent the first part of 2016 on loan at Renault, the young Frenchman is one of motorsport's hottest prospects but he insists he expects more of himself than others do.
Yes, the expectations are high. But the biggest pressure comes from my side. I want to do well. I want to perform well and make my team happy," he told the official Formula One website.
"I am not really worried," he insisted. "Right now I am here to learn. Mercedes and Renault had a common interest to put me in Manor - to prepare me for the future, to give me a good schooling."
"I am here with that perspective. For sure there will be competition between Pascal and me, but that is why this is F1 and not kindergarten. (Laughs) But having said that, there is no extra pressure on me. "
