During the presentation of the Alpine A523, a rough presentation due to the leaking of the car with a video of the brand itself, the name of Fernando Alonso appeared on several occasions. Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon they had to answer several questions about him.
The one who will be his replacement, Gasly, is convinced that the team “learned a lot” from himbut it is clear that they must leave it in the past: “We have to look to the future.”
Look at his career, I can only look at myself. I want to win races and be world champion with Alpine, that’s what I focus on”, said the French pilot, who insisted on being “very competitive”: “I want us to keep the good trend.”
“Work with a manufacturer has potential compared to what I had seen before”, commented Gasly, who was also asked about his relationship with Ocon: “We are mature and responsible”.
“Things are going very wellWe have talked more in the last few months than in ten years. It was very important, I’m happy with how things are going with Ocon,” Gasly said at the presentation.
Ocon, for his part, insisted on the word “ambition”: “As an objective, it seems that we want to be fourth again but the disadvantage with the third is enormous. We are ambitious and it is what we want to achieve, in F1 anything can happen.”
