After representing Mercedes and Renault in various test and practice sessions in the first half of 2016, Esteban Ocon will make his Formula One debut at the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix after joining Manor.

The Frenchman will compete in the final nine races of the season alongside fellow Mercedes protege Pascal Wehrlein following Rio Haryanto's demotion to a reserve-driver role, and the teenager has described his excitement for the weeks and months to come as he seeks a more permanent seat on the 2017 grid.

While Ocon rose to prominence after beating Max Verstappen to the FIA European Formula Three title, Carlos Sainz Jr. only began to attract serious attention when he matched the boy wonder in F1.

The Spaniard has emerged as Toro Rosso's team leader since Verstappen graduated to Red Bull, with technical director James Key revealing Sainz's stature has grown considerably in his second season.

Should Ocon perform well alongside Wehrlein for the rest of 2016, he may find himself partnered with Sergio Perez next season, with the Mexican known to be talking with Renault.

Force India have admitted they have no control over Perez's future, but the team have vowed to make his decision as hard as possible by finishing as the best of the rest behind Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari in the constructors' standings.

The Silverstone-based outfit sits 15 points behind Williams in the championship, and on the evidence of the comments made by chief technical officer Pat Symonds, fourth place could be there for the taking.

Symonds has revealed Williams have been left bemused by several ineffective aerodynamic upgrades in the first half of 2016, with the updates having a minimal effect on the performance of the FW38 chassis.

Closing our latest roundup is Marcus Ericsson, who has outlined why Sauber's future is looking bright after their recent change of ownership.
