Alpine F1 boss Otmar Szafnauer has cautioned that Esteban Ocon has to make “better judgements” when racing wheel-to-wheel with his own team-mate in 2023. Full story ⬇️
That led to both men getting a talking to from the team management. Szafnauer hopes that Ocon has learned from the experience and that there won’t be a repeat this year with new partner"He needs to probably make better judgements when his team mates are next to him, because you don't win it on the first lap, team mate or not," he said of Ocon.

So it's just that better judgement, and get them later." Asked if that had been made clear to Ocon, Szafnauer added:"It was. If we need reminders, I'm happy to remind him."Having been reunited with him last season after a three-year gap, Szafnauer acknowledged that Ocon has improved overall as a driver.Sebastian Vettel

I think the thing that really pleases me about Esteban is that under pressure, he often does not make a mistake. I've seen it with him when he won against Vettel. I was there, we had a faster car. And he did not make a mistake.
