I don't know for sure. That's just what I heard. For every rumour I hear, someone else hears something completely different.

From what I hear: Hulkenberg + Sainz = stability, for once. Sainz pushes Hulkenberg, unlike Palmer and races good enough to get some decent results on his own (although recent races were somewheat diappointing, resultwise).
And they seem to both like and dislike the same aspects in the car and give comparable technical feedback.
They (the race team) know what they have and don't know what they would get (with Ocon) in that regards.

As far as I know, a choice for Ocon would be more of a political one than a technical/sporting one.
I have been reading French magazines (Sport-Auto, Auto-Hebdo) for long enough to recognize that French trait...
