Esteban Ocon has taken a parting shot at former Alpine teammate Fernando Alonso, saying the Spaniard barely did any work to push the workforce ahead.
Alonso is becoming a member of Aston Martin subsequent yr and has already predicted his new workforce can beat Alpine in 2023.
The Spaniard grew more and more vital of Alpine and his teammate over the ultimate races of this yr’s season.
On the penultimate occasion, the Brazilian Grand Prix, he and Ocon collided through the dash race and blamed one another.
When requested if he wanted to clean issues over with Ocon, Alonso stated: “No, not likely. I do not want. It is yet another race then it is over, lastly!”
Ocon was pissed off at how Alonso dealt with the state of affairs and hinted that it is going to be higher for the workforce that he’s driving elsewhere subsequent yr.
Talking to French press forward of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Ocon stated: “In fact, I used to be dissatisfied by that his feedback had been made within the press and never internally. We did not have any discussions about any of that. I’ll hold the respect I’ve for him.
“It is good that he will Aston Martin and that we’re going our personal method. Actually, the work was 98 % on my again and a couple of % on his. I used to be overworked. I did all the event on the simulator, the advertising and marketing journeys.”
Accusations of Alonso being a foul affect behind the scenes have adopted him round all through his F1 profession.
Ocon is being joined by fellow Frenchman Pierre Gasly subsequent yr.
There are questions on how properly that partnership will go, as Ocon and Gasly have had an up and down relationship ever since they had been kart racing collectively as children.
