Esteban Ocon has described his rally debut as "an amazing experience" he hopes to repeat in the future.

On his first official outing as an Alpine F1 driver, the Frenchman drove the A110S sports car, sporting his 31 race number, across the first two stages of the Rallye Monte-Carlo.

Starting 70 minutes before the official WRC drivers commenced their quest in the 89th running of the event, Ocon completed the SS1 route from Saint-Disdier to Corps and SS2 between Saint-Maurice and Saint-Bonnet.

Reflecting on the outing, Ocon said: "Today was an amazing experience driving the Alpine A110S at Rallye Monte-Carlo.

"It's been a dream of mine to have a go at rallying so to have a taste of it at a brilliant event like this was definitely special.

"The conditions today were tricky but that all added to the experience and provided a fun challenge.

"The ars A110S handled really well, it's perfect for these roads and to have a taste of that was fantastic. I look forward to more events like these."
