Since Fernando Alonso announced that it was changing Alpine by Aston Martin and begin to give a public account of the constant reliability issues that his car had in contrast to the more consistent single-seater of Esteban Oconfrom the Enstone garage ‘sticks’ began to emanate the two-time champion of Formula 1.
First it was Ocon, who assured that he did “98%” of the team’s work, leaving the Asturian in a very bad place. then came laurent rossiCEO of Alpine, who using the words of the French pilot took the opportunity to ‘stir’ Alonso.
Far from getting into trouble, Fernando has responded elegantly on social networks, and it seems that Ocon has seen fit to pick up the cable with the driver who left him his first (and to date only) F1 victory.
In statements to ‘Racingnews365.com’, the Frenchman has surrendered to the seniority of the man from Oviedo: “I am not at his level of experienceaBut like any other driver, you learn, especially with a new teammate because they have different ways of working.”
In fact, what stands out above all is Alonso’s vision of the race and his ability to anticipate events and foresee what is going to happen.
“It’s been interesting working with a world champion and seeing what he was doing. Your overall awareness of everythingwhere he is from in the race, knows who he is competing with and is always two pit stops ahead“, he pointed out.
“My first three-stop race was in Bahrain this year and I still have little two-stop experience, but I’ve done a lot of one-stop races. Being aware and understanding these races is definitely something I’ve seen“, has added.
Lastly, the Frenchman has not given a threadless stitch and has once again puffed up his chest for the final result of the season: “I hope he has also learned from me, because if only I had learned from him, that would mean he would have beaten me by a lot, which is not the case. It’s been nice working against someone who sets the bar so high.”
Paradoxically, with the World Cup over and the points on hand, it has been the Formula 1 the one that has placed Fernando Alonso over Esteban Ocon at the demonstrated level. Next year, one in Aston Martin and another in Alpinean interesting fight will come in the middle zone.
