The relationship between Fernando Alonso Y Alpine it’s already limit. In the Mexican Grand Prix the two-time world champion Formula 1 he suffered the umpteenth reliability failure on his A522 and was forced to retire.
Otmar Szafnauerteam leader, put the new problem down to bad luckbut the data suggests that something is happening in the “car 14”.
While the Romanian turned to the goddess Fortuna to try to explain what had happened, Stephen Oconpartner of the Asturian, went further and, without half measures, denied Fernando.
In statements to ‘Motorsport Total’, the Frenchman assures that both have had problems and that they have used the same power units… but the data, like Szafnauer, contradicts him.
“Well my gearbox broke on Imola and the car in Silverstone. I also abandoned Singapore. Those from me also count. We both had problems”, explained the Frenchman.
“We are exactly the sameyes I have also used six units”, he added. However, the reality is that, according to the FIA, Ocon has had two DNF while Alonso already has four.
11 points they separate both in the absence of the races in Brazil Y Abu Dhabialthough according to the man from Oviedo, if he had had more reliability, he would have 66 more units and would have settled the ‘battle’ between Alpine Y McLaren and your personal with Or with Y lando norris for being the ‘best of the rest’.
