Esteban Ocon has his sights set on a first podium in Formula 1 after “becoming more and more comfortable” at Force India this year.

As part of his multi-year contract with Mercedes, the Frenchman joined Force India from Manor ahead of the 2017 season and has only missed out on the points just once in 11 races.

And Ocon feels he has come a long way since the season opener in Australia and wants to keep heading in the right direction.

“If you look at [the pace in] Australia there was a massive step until now,” Ocon said.

“In the first five races I was continuously improving, then the fine details is the rest that you need to improve and I’m starting to get this.
