The British pilot did not hesitate to refer to Ocon’s statement
In the last hours, Stephen Ocon Through some statements, he wanted to vindicate his performance alongside Fernando Alonso, who is currently a pilot for Alpinewhich he surpasses this campaign by 7 points with 6 races remaining in the F1 World Cup. His words gave much to talk about.
“I don’t read everything that is said about me, but I hope that when I do something good, it is reported as such. But it is true that there are people who tell me ‘ah, I didn’t notice you classification at Spa’, or ‘I forgot you won last year’. I admit that it seems a little strange to me, ”she expressed.
Alonso’s teammates at Alpine were named by other drivers
“In the end, in qualifying, compared to Fernando Alonso, we are 9/7 in his favour, but I have a few more points in the general standings. Last year, if we talk about the standings, we finished the season in a tie: 11 to 11”, he commented, before launching a forceful appreciation for all the fans.
“If I look at Fernando’s career, the only teammate at his level was Lewis. Everybody else hasn’t done better than me.” This phrase did not like the 2009 champion, Jenson Button. “I do not agree,” the British replied to a publication that shared Esteban Ocon’s phrase.
Likewise, it was named that Button surpassed the Asturian in 2015
The context would have to be analysed. It is true that Ocon matched Alonso in ‘qualy’ in 2021, but he did it in the season of Fernando’s return to F1 after two and a half years away, so the Norman started with an advantage since Alonso recognized that he needed 5 races to fit the car.
For his part, he does not mention that although Fernando was back at the F1the Asturian surpassed him in terms of final points in 2021. The numbers also do not say that Fernando Alonso lost points in a start to the season full of bad luck for the Spaniard due to reliability problems.
