He has been a bit of a wild card, running into incidents a lot. So it is not surprising he is replaced. But Ocon is also prone to incidents so will that really work better?
They better reinforce poor Bearman's car. It definitely feels like Ocon's propensity to take out his teammate has been established. I like Ocon enough and he does seem like an upgrade of Magnussen. Hopefully he plays nice!
I like Mags. He's one of many journeyman drivers. I would LOVE to see him follow the ball-licker to Sauber. The grid-Dads are a fantastic duo in pretty much all ways, even though they don't get a lot of coverage.
Will definitely miss Magnussen in F1 but I think he can thrive in other racing series too. He was a great team player though so replacing him with Ocon, who seems to want to sabotage his teammate, feels like an odd choice but having someone with experience should help them.
