Esteban Ocon thinks Alpine have resolved his performance problems with the new chassis he was given for the British Grand Prix.

The Frenchman had been on a poor run of form heading to Silverstone, ironically straight after signing a new three-year contract with the team.

A run of four races without a point saw Ocon finish no higher than 14th, although he insisted it had not been sparked by any complacency as a result of his new deal.

That was borne out when Alpine provided the 24-year-old with a new chassis at the British Grand Prix and it had an immediate effect, with Ocon improving upon the two Q1 exits he had just experienced in Austria before going on to finish ninth in the race.
