He Spanish Grand Prix He has left some images that will be remembered for a long time. Beyond the dresser victory of max verstappen and his Red Bullthe race has been marked by a dangerous maneuver of Esteban Ocon when defending his position.
He was running lap 51 of the race, 15 from the end, when Fernando Alonsoby the hand of his Aston Martin with new wheels, flew on the asphalt with the aim of snatch the seventh position to his former teammate.
Or withas usual, he didn’t want to make it easydespite such a large speed differential, and forced the Asturian pilot to get into the traced of exit of the ‘pit lane‘. Despite the fact that the Spanish downplayed it, claiming that “It was not that difficult“Others have not been so benevolent with the French manoeuvre.
It is the case of Martin Brundleformer pilot and current commentator, who did not hesitate to criticize the maneuver of the man of Alpine via ‘Sky Sports F1’: “That defense comes too late, you can’t do that“.
“You have to position the car before they get to you like that. Ocon is a lovely guy, but when he puts on the helmet he turns into a monsterBrundle added.
Comes from afar
the eagerness of Esteban Ocon for making things almost impossible, sometimes dangerously, for Fernando Alonso it’s nothing new. It worse It was seen at the time when both pilots shared a team in Alpine.
However, Or with downplays the post-race maneuver, arguing that “it was a good fight with Fernandoas usual when we measure ourselves on the track. I tried to defend my position“.
What is clear is that Fernando Alonso has adapted wonderfully to Aston Martinforming a duo free from controversy with Lance Stroll and where it can, after many years, struggle by big things.
