Esteban Ocon was interviewed this week in which he talked about possible options on coming back to the grid. What's becoming more and more clear though is that the Frenchman might have a few options in hand for next season. The seat at Mercedes could be his if Mercedes keep one eye at the future but it could be risky for them as Bottas has been the perfect No.2 driver while Ocon might ruffle those feathers.

There could be a potential opening at Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen in what could be a blockbuster lineup for the team. He could even move to Renault if the French team opts not to extend Hulkenberg's contract or Red Bull poach Nico.
Or there could be a possible seat at Haas, a team that could potentially be looking at options beyond Magnussen and Grosjean after this season. All in all the Frenchman could be in for a shot to return to the grid next year.
