You can argue the toss on reliability issues, but in terms of raw results Esteban Ocon did beat Fernando Alonso over their two years at Alpine. 👏 The Frenchman is understandably pleased about that ⬇️
Alonso was hit by a number of reliability issues this year that cost him points, but Ocon said he “had my issues too” and that it felt good to have won their head-to-head battle.
“It feels good, I would say,” said Ocon. “He’s a very, very fast driver. I had to up my game as much as I could.Esteban Ocon, Alpine A522, Fernando Alonso, Alpine A522While Ocon failed to register a podium in F1 this year, he recorded his highest points total to date and matched his best championship finish of eighth from his first full season in 2017., which he rated as being his best in F1 so far.
It came despite recurring reliability issues for Alpine over the season that more often than not seemed to impact Alonso’s car. Ocon felt Alpine had “created this position ourself” with its push for performance, but that he had enjoyed working with Alonso to help take the team forward in that drive.“I’m glad to have spent two years with him, I wish him the best at Aston, and hopefully we can fight closely in the future.
