This is harder to answer than it seems I feel, first thought is yes he would be better off in a race seat.
BUT what happens *if* he gets beaten by George? Mercedes seat go's too?
Seems unlikely that a rookie could beat a driver of Ocon's quality, then who thought Lewis would challenge Fernando in his first year?
If I was George I would really want Ocon as a team mate, its a win win, if he got beaten no one would think badly of a rookie being beaten by such a highly rated driver, should he come close or even beat him, he would be in for a shout of the Mercedes seat, Ocon should think very carefully about moving to Williams in my view.
