Esteban Ocon will officially join the Renault F1 team on December 2 so that he can take part in the team's post-season test in Abu Dhabi.
The former Force India driver was forced to spend the 2019 season on the sidelines after he was left without a seat on the grid over the winter. He remained contracted to Mercedes as a reserve and development driver, completing support work in the team's simulator at Brackley, but earlier this year signed a deal to cut his ties with the world champions and secure a place on the 2020 grid with Renault.
