“In our minds we have to remember that it is possible, otherwise there is no point in running“: that’s how he answers Esteban Ocon when they ask if Alpine can emulate the evolution made by Aston Martin this 2023 compared to 2022.
The French, who together with Pierre Gasley It has not started in the best possible way this new season, he longs to have a competitive car with which to fight, a single-seater with which he does have Fernando Alonso.
“The previous year ended in December and we started a new campaign between the end of February and the beginning of March. That’s about three or four months, I have no idea if Aston was able to take that step during the season,” he explained.
Therefore, it requires Alpine ‘copy’ the strategy of the British: “They have shown that it is possible if you find the right tools and areas of development. have shown that it is feasible“.
What should be changed? Ocon believes that “it’s about a lot of little details”: “It’s never just one thing. That’s what’s hard: because a change in one part can mean a loss of performance in another. At the moment we can’t digress too much, because we are in the situation we are“.
