“I respect him a lot. I will always respect him for what he has done on the track over the years. He is a legend of the sport and that will not change, but he disappointed me a bit,” Ocon said.
On Alonso’s departure to Aston Martin, he wishes him luck: “We have created this situation, these opportunities that we had in the last two years.
