The double touch between Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon It’s just the latest chapter in a long list of clashes between the pilots of Alpine. The tension is palpable between the two and can be seen in their statements. However, neither of them need a talk to clarify the matter.
The Asturian was very angry with his teammate for the two touches he had with him during the Brazilian sprint race, but when asked about if a meeting was necessary to solve the tension, Alonso ruled out that it was useful: “No, I don’t think it’s necessary. There is one race left, next year will be a different year. He’ll have a different teammate and the director will have a different driver, so it’s going to be different. For me it’s ok”.
Thus, Fernando stated that he prefers to turn the page and not hold any team meetings. An opinion that is also shared by Esteban Ocon himself, who confirmed that there will be no talk in Brazil or Abu Dhabi: “Not well”.
A tense relationship between the Asturian and the French that neither will try to reduce. Far from solving problems, they prefer to turn the page. And in the near future, a new start at Interlagos with both on the grid together.
