Don't you just love it when 5 different people have the same video idea as you and upload it earlier🤣 hope you still enjoy my 2 cents on the Ocon Alpine situation
Don’t worry. Most of us know you’re one of thee F1 pundits who doesn’t just do what everyone else does or jump on the trendiest, most obvious topics.
I'm going through 6 videos, but your take is spot on. I heard of Ocon's penalty and the threat of consequences before seeing the incident. My first thought was the penalty is totally bogus and the team will be unfairly overreacting to bench him for this.
Alpine is completely unable to Manage the drivers (Alonso, Piastri, Ocon) and the car development.
Aldas, I truly enjoy listening to your thoughts and insights so much more than the big name channels. You are open-minded and often offer reflection on events from more than one perspective. Even if I have a differing opinion, I always think your points are well-made.
You did really well putting your perspective, not only going with the trend. Nice job mate.
Mate where on gods green Earth was gasly supposed to go in the incident? Directly into the barrier? This is the worst take and all the content creators I know have nothing to really talk about leading into the Canadian GP but misinforming your audience on proper racing etiquette is not it. Gasly was literally hugging the outside limits and ocon had space inside (space inside that gasly didn't have cuz ya know there's an Ocon there) for one and the move was pretty unlikely to pan-out from the start which SHOULD be part of your thought process, so yes it's 100000% on Ocon and the racing stewards punished him according to racing rules. I agree they fumbled the kmag thing but that doesn't mean Ocon's incident wasn't a penalty. Ocon's narcissistic behavior was just a qwerk at first but now it's becoming a hazard to other drivers on grid. He put his interest ahead of his TEAMMATES safety and that's just not excusable.
ocon having that corner is a blazing hot take- gasly can’t disappear
Giving him a penalty for a clean pass followed by squeezing the other car while letting Magnison off the hook in a lap one incident is very suspicious.
Fr lol like I guess just using the other car as a brake and bowling ball your way up the inside gives u the corner 😂
@@MMAli-rq8kdyou can't really squeeze someone at Monaco, there's no where to go
Exactly. He tried comparing it to other races; this is Monaco, he cant just go off track and concede the position because there are barriers
agreed and if Aldas inferred that Gasly could have or should have braked/slowed down, that could have way more disastrous consequences on an opening lap than this incident
When Ocon had his front wheels ahead of Gasly, where was Gasly supposed to go? He was against the wall already.
There is thing called brakes in the car which gasly could've used
@@harshhapani7230 And drive straight into the wall? A tire has just a limited amount of grip.
@@Phantom-mg5cg he probably could have used the grip he had for acceleration into braking to slow down
@harshhapani7230 If he did that, another car would've gone right up his ass, potentially resulting in a different crash.
@@harshhapani7230 that sequence when Gasly sees Ocon occurred in less than half a second. Even if you break it down frame by frame, if he uses his breaks his front right tire is not in front of Ocons back left and he has no where left to go. He can't avoid a collision in any scenario at that point.
I see your point but where was Gasly suppose to go? In the example given between the Redbull and Haas there was somewhere for the Hass to escape to. Gasly's only option was to hit the wall or not to hit the wall which would have compromised his race. It was implied whoever was the lead car had priority and the second car was basically going to act as a buffer. Not sure what Ocon was thinking but they would have both looked good if they had both brought in points for the team. Gasly got squeezed hard by Ocon for no reason end of story. Ocon had nothing to prove other than his pride. Alpine/Renault as an org that needs a complete reset or bought our right by a better ran organization. Their leadership just plain sucks.
Gasly could’ve breaked.
Finally! someone saying what I've been saying!!!
@@hakkinenfan92 I agree, but Gasly had priority. If he had braked he would have pretty much come in last.
@@mintyoneplus ocon lost part control of the car before contact. If gasly breaks and makes way for other cars whilst ocon losing control of the car would’ve made the situation even worse. Both probably would’ve lost positions if no red car.
There is a thing called brakes on the car
Ocon is not a good teammate, period. He races against his teammates harder than he does against other teams, ridiculuous.
The amount of times Ocon has put 100% of his focus on blocking or beating a teammate even if it costs him and the team over all is easily beyond a dozen.
Ironically, Gasly is also a very petulant and immature driver who is terrible at being part of a team.
Gasly is also reckless. This pairing is especially incompatible from the boss who lost Alonso and Piastri. It's Alpine's fault.
Tell Esteban to defend like a lion hood ham up for like one corner see a teammate launch’s them defends them like it’s for a wdc
Esty bestie
Another Alonso fan crying about Ocon
"When you're beaten, you just have to wash out."
Wash out where? Into the wall? Ocon put Gasly into a situation where the latter couldn't win. You can't brake under steering without risking a lock-up, and he couldn't go off the track because then he'd be in the wall.
TBF Gasly accelerates out of the apex as if Ocon is gonna leave him space. He's not slowing down between apex and collision, he's speeding up.
@@billhoult3262 Gasly accelerated because:
1) That's typically what drivers do coming out of the apex of a slow corner onto a significant straight.
2) See my point about braking while turning and locking-up.
3) To quote the immortal Fernando Alonso, "ok, he pushed me off the track. I think you have to leave a space! *ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE SPACE!*"
4) They're teammates, and Bruno Famin explicitly told Ocon not to do that sort of thing.
5) Gasly expected Ocon to use at least one braincell to realize that move wasn't going to work.
So there's no "fairness" to afford to Ocon on that point.
@@eddieredmann3
1) If he doesn't accelerate as hard then he doesn't crash, he was lucky it was Ocon who DNFed and not him/both. Not crashing is more important than optimum speed, especially in Monaco.
2) You don't lock up from not accelerating.
3) The rules are that if the overtaking driver has the front axle ahead at the apex (Ocon did) and can successfully navigate the corner (Ocon did) then the other driver has to yield. AFAIK there aren't extra rules for Monaco that change this.
4) It's Ocon, teammates doesn't matter
5) Gasly saw Ocon went for the move, and still chose to stick it around the outside hoping it would work.
If Gasly just slows and files in behind Ocon, he'll maybe get a 30mph nudge from Stroll and he can let Ocon have position and yell at him on the radio.
If Gasly exits the corner like normal, hoping to find space round the outside of Ocon, then one or both of his team DNFs.
@@billhoult3262
1) Patently false. If you have functioning eyeballs you will see that.
2) Not accelerating would still put him in harms way. He needed to actively brake to avoid Ocon, which *would* put him at risk of a lock-up.
3) I'm sure there are several examples (LeClerc and Checo's tangle in Mexico City last year, for example) where you would disagree with that assertion. And even if you're completely honest about this, it's still a dumb as shit rule.
4) Maybe teammates don't matter, but his seat surely does.
5) What are you talking about? No he didn't? Not until it was too late anyway.
@@eddieredmann3 Not to mention, that whole thing happened so fast, that Gasly literally didn't have any time to react to Ocon just yeeting himself from out of nowhere (from Gasly's POV). There's literally nothing Gasly could of done to avoid that. Ocon, however? He could of just... not lunge in there, like a braindead idiot.
I just don’t think Gasly has time to react to Ocon’s lunge, and he also wouldn’t have expected it from his teammate so he wouldn’t be anticipating it knowing Ocon was behind him - enjoyed the video nonetheless!
I recon Pierre was just astonished that Ocon would try that move that goes in against the instructions they were given.
The problem with Ocons overtake is he hasn’t left any room on corner exit. Gasly had already tightened the corner to cover and dissuade Ocon from making a lunge, yet Ocon still went for the gap anyway. Like what can Gasly do here? If he slows Ocon’s rear wheel clobbers his front, he moves left he’s going into the wall. There’s nothing for him to do, Ocon needed to hold a tighter line and ensure space was left on the exit, but really against his teammate he should never have gone for that move.
I think that once Ocon was deserving of space, Pierre couldn't back out because he had the wall on his left and braking without going to the left would result in the same crash. It is up to Ocon to overtake safely and he didn't so he definitely deserves a penalty
The Ocon apologist returns.
Ocon is very fond of "high risk, little to no reward" scenarios, specially against his teammates.
Maybe he would've been fine if F1 allowed teams with only one driver, but he's the number one enemy of teamwork and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up leaving F1 sooner than expected due to teams losing any interest in his work.
Absolutely, teams will have to take his history into consideration as a prospective driver. Midfield and backmarker teams generally need someone like Hulkenberg or Albon who are reliable and smart drivers, while the top teams can get better drivers than Ocon. His antics just make him the odd man out that no one is going to want on their team.
And just like that Alpine decided not to renew his contract
"When the driver in front of you and overtaking you has the inside line and is half a car length in front of you... I am sorry, but you have lost that corner."
When the driver overtaking you has your front end sandwiched between the wall and their sidepod and is understeering into you... I am sorry, but you have nowhere to go.
This is most burnt toast take I think I've heard about this collision.
Especially when this concept of losing a corner doesn’t actually work that way at all. It’s up to the overtaking car to pass in a clean and safe manner and if the pass can’t be completed such that the overtaking car is still partly alongside the overtaken car, that car has to be given room until the pass is fully completed.
Almost every driver on the grid doesn’t actually race like this because it isn’t penalised at all but this washing out wide to run the other car out of room tactic doesn’t even work in Monaco like you say
Aldas starts doing a little go karting & all of sudden he's a race driver. Shit take
The difference between the clip you showed of the Haas being run off when a half a car back, and the Ocon incident, is you can’t run someone off the track in Monaco, there’s just no space. Unless Gasly came to a complete 0kph stop, there was no chance he’d avoid contact, and even then they probably still collide, best case is probably that Gasly crashes into the wall on his own.
When a “beat my teammate at any cost” mentality literally results in millions in damage + costing WCC points, it’s just self-sabotage. I think EO can be brought under control by a TP like Vowles making it incredibly clear how they expect Ocon to behave on track against teammates.
You can analyse all ocons’s crashes like this. It’s the sum of these that make him lose his value. It’s not a drivers fault, it’s a character flaw.
what a wheel knowledge by aldas, there is not a single valid argument to justify ocon
Exactly
Ocon was specifically told not to do what he did. And regardless if the pass was clean it ended up with a car for the team out of the race. Ocon is a d bag.
Don't get me wrong, Ocon is very good driver and I do think him being put on a bench in anyway would be a drastic response by Alpine for this incident, especially since he has won the qualifying teammate battle so far in 2024.
That said, ever since 2017 (with the exception of Danny Ric in 2020) Ocon has somehow found a way to be a complete nightmare to every single teammate and he himself doesn't seem to care
Edit: Yes Ocon was technically ahead after the corner but Gasly had nowhere to go (unlike Mick in that Silverstone '22 footage with Verstappen), I'd still put it on Ocon
2017/18 is Perez being the problem.
@@tombardsley3081 you could view *it that way if you like. Just like you can say Alonso was the problem in 21/22 and Gasly now. Ocon is still the common factor. At some point, you can't ignore the pattern
@@tombardsley3081 They both were
@@maxholmgren7936 the evidence suggests otherwise. Checo cost the team more points with his antics Vs ocon than the other way around. There were no issues between ocon and Alonso in 21. It's really circumstantial that ocon is in all 3. By the same logic was Vettel a poor teammate because of his crashes and antics Vs Webber at red bull and then the crash he had Vs leclerc in 2019?
@@arroe8386 it was 3-1 to Perez when it came to incidents between the 2 and who was at fault
When Ocon squeezes Gasly to the point that they have crossed wheels, it makes no sense to claim that Gasly should back off as this would have caused the exact same accident anyway, while the barrier right next to the track means he can't step outside either. Absolutely nothing to blame Gasly for in this case.
Where could gasly go? The wall? The move Ocon made was to agressive and he shouldnt have done that.
Damn, aldas actually blamed gasly for it
I think a bigger problem is that everyone knew it was a terrible idea putting these 2 together and also Alpine shooting themselves in the foot with Fernando's & Oscar's contracts 2 yrs ago
It was a desperate marketing move: 2 Frenchie 1 Alpine
@@NexuJin very
If you really think this was Gasly's fault, especially after Ocon was told not to pass Gasly, I will say you are saying this just to be different from others. Ocon is an idiot who cannot accept defeat to his teammate.
Ocon has the talent as a driver but he doesn't have the mentality for F1. The only reason he got a penalty and KMag didn't is the stewards bottling giving Kmag a race ban.
3 Charisma having frog-boy. "This is why everyone hates you"
total blatant disregard for his team. Get him out, he’s had more than his share of chances. Theres plenty of fresh drivers like Doohan that are more than deserving of the spot.
Yes, Ocon is a half car lengths ahead by the middle of the corner. But unlike the other tracks you showed, Gasly has nowhere to go. He cannot even break because they're already bound to hit each other by the midpoint. Portier is not a corner that you lunge someone especially your teammate.
You are forgetting that they discussed prior to the race not to attack each other as both had a chance for points positions. Ocon disobeyed team orders. End of story.
It must be difficult to be a team player when your teammate is your biggest rival and your seat is largely dependent on your ability to consistently finish ahead of him.
where was gasly supposed to go? The wall? 😂😂😂
If Ocon was on as many penalty points as Magnussen then he wouldn’t have got a penalty
I understand your point of view with the corner. However if you're Gasly, where do you go? It's Monaco, theres barely enough room on the straights to pass. Gasly couldn't do anything because if Gasly backs out he gets run over by someone behind him. In that event Alpine still only get one car in the points.
Had Alonso's engine not blown up so many times he would have whiped the floor woth Ocon.
You're mixing things up. Just because the stewards didn't penalize Kmag for that incident doesn't mean Ocon does not deserve his.
You should know better that the FIA is trying to not have a driver banned from a race, hence the leniency.
I don't like it, but that doesn't have anything to do with Ocon's incident.
Dude even he's own parents would not defend him like that lol
Blaming more Gasly is crazy, sorry man, absolute insane
I think you’re not taking into full account a few things
1) the new tyres mean even less visibility so “washing out of the corner” is not really viable with the barrier right there.
2) the amount you can actually see in the cars themselves. You are basing this off the halo view and not the helmets. Check the helmet cam of previous races there’s not a lot you can see.
3) “These drivers are paid professionals and part of the role is to as well as the team principal is to work with other people” yeah that’s probably why the team principal is putting his foot down and threatening him with missing a race. you can wave the carrot all day long if it’s not working you need to use the stick. Ocon has consistently behaved in a poor fashion over the years so it’s probably about time that the team lead stamps his foot a bit.
Alonso Brazil 2022s comments aged like wine
Sorry Aldas but you couldn't be more wrong with your hot take. Jenson taught us in 2017 you can't cut that corner when he flipped Pascal.
ocon fights his team mate as if hes fighting for the championship, the way he drives gets on peoples nerves because the aggression just seems to spring from nowhere. i thought ocon and alonso got along well in 2021 and i thought he had genuine potental to be among the top 10 drivers on the grid in the future but in 2022? it was a shit show, and i dont think alonso can be given any blame for it.
i will never forget alonso leaving the pits only for ocon to ruin his out lap by blocking him for most of the lap. he did that multiple times and it seems like its repeating again. we expect this kind of stuff from stroll, causing collisions or damaging other people cars but ocon shows more frequent flashs of talent, so its more frustrating that on the track hes a hazard to the team. as for my top 10 at this point in the year (in no particular order) its: verstappen, alonso, sainz, leclerc, norris, hamilton, russell, piastri, hulkenburg and tsunoda. im gutted aston martin has been barrowing parts from jcb because alonso has been massively out performing that car this year, like hulkenburg.
smaller teams like sauber or williams are expecting drivers to work together so that they can score points consistently. i don’t see how Ocon could fit in.
When you see a Prima Donna that is a PITA and won’t listen then it’s best they dump him. He will not learn or listen. Two French drivers was always going to end in tears!
No it’s completely different! He dive bonmed Gasly knowing there’s no space
? did you not even get 4 minutes into the video before commenting?
In front of Gas or not, why the @$$ is he attacking his teammate to put them, as a team, in the each same positions but just with Ocon being in front? He’s a dirty driver, always has been, and he’s incapable of taking responsibility for any carnage he causes. Just look at him laughing in the face of Max after ruining his race a few years ago.
That was Max's fault entirely
I think you don’t understand the concept of space. Perez didn’t leave space to kmag and he thus crashed, ocon didn’t leave space to gastly and he thus crashed
1:25 From Gasly POV...
is the first time I disagree with you
Ocon is a harsh pilot that only think on himself
Tell that to Checo, tell that to Fernando...
That move in that corner in that track...
you no need POV of a On Board camera to know that if you break you will crash the car at your side and if you avoid the crash you will end up in the wall.
Is easy to say it on cold but be on that position and moment is another story
Checo was the problem 90% of the time
Good that you re-examine incidents and are willing to go against the crowd.
But Gazly was in no position to retreat from that collision and his was the racing line.
Just before the corner he was tight behind Yuki I think so his pace was dictated by the car ahead.
I suspect Ocon got hot under the collar because Gazly had squeezed him earlier.
Aldas: “I don’t think alpine will bench ocon for the next race”
Alpine: that is right because he ll be fired at the end of the season
We all know you hate Gasly but even for you blaming the guy who got squeezed into the wall 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's really the polar opposite of Magnussen. While magnussen drive very dangerously, at least he's often crash or causing problem to other team on the grid, never touch his teammate on track. While Ocon? Well, his main objective is destroying his teammate (really) 🤣
I disagree, its Monaco, gasly had literally nowhere to go, hed have to slam on the brakes. Also they tslked about how whoever qualified first got to stay ahead and thr guy behind eould protect, ocon ignored this within half a lap
Like others (and Brundle) have said, lunging your teammate on lap 1 into Portier is just not a good move. You can go wide on almost any other F1 track on the calendar, not at Monaco. Gasly couldn't move any wider (can't brake to back out because no one expects you to brake on the exit of that corner) and it rightfully backfired on Ocon.
It looks like Aldas never drove in his entire life.
Gasly was nowhere to go mate
This video aged like fine wine
All respect for Ocon making it to the F1 grid and being a race winner despite not being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but the dude is an absolute dick to his teammates.
Ocon is fast. But he lacks gentlemenship in his driving. All he sees on track are 19 competitors. Which is unfortunate. He is just as talented as Sainz or Leclerc.
You cant just jump someone at that angle and brake check them for the spot when there isnt an outlet. 100% Ocon’s fault but this has always been a garbage track
And today he left alpine. Took them too long to realize
How is Gasly under performing? He and Ocon finish close in the standings every race. I fail to see how you think that Gasly is under performing. Gasly consistently puts the car in the mid field along with Ocon.
Nah man, Gasly had no fault in this incident. Ocon should have never tried. Gasly couldn't avoid it without creating other dangerous situations.
Always so measured in your opinions but never mincing your words! I’ve got huge respect for what you do with this channel!
2:10 But in Monaco there is a wall. I think also the penalty was hard, but fair.
Great dissection, thank you.
I swear i've watched this video five times today lol
Agree with Aldas - the move was aggressive and wasn’t executed perfectly, but to my eyes Gasly knew he was at risk hence he moved right to try to block before the corner, Ocon had already committed, and neither driver was willing to concede
As much as I dislike Ocon, he’d be a perfect signing for Williams. He’s exactly the type of driver Williams needs as he’ll: a) provide WF1 a reliable benchmark for Alex b) fight to extract the maximum out of the car and he doesn’t need a perfectly balanced car c) he’ll work hard in the simulator/off track and d) he’ll be inexpensive and so much better and hungrier than Bottas.
That makes sense but i don't know how he'd fit with Williams' silly/wholesome social media strategy lol. I mean, still would be fun to see of course.
Ocon would bankrupt Williams before summer break comes 😂😂
Wtf are you on about?
That's literally the worst team he could join, he'd destroy it from the inside. Alpine is perfect for him with self sabotage everywhere.
Piastri did the same thing to Sainz last GP. No one says a word. People shoot the outside line all the time, relax. Having a hard race doesn’t mean you can start divebombing over your teammates hood. Close calls happen every race & you don’t see this bullshit from anyone else.
And you were correct. It is done. He is gone for next season.
He's unliked by fans and by the drivers, playing a risky game ocon my friend
1:38 At this very moment, @Aldas, that you think Gasly could have done to avoid the clash? Ocon’s rear left wheel is already behind Gasly’s front right wheel.
Should he just stopped on the side, waited every other car to get by and then go on from the back??
It's like a switch goes off in ocon's head as soon as he sees gasly's car
Or any of his teammate's car
Don't agree. Ocon needed to prove he was a team player. He took the corner then squeezed Gasley out. On a regular track no problem but this is Monaco.. Gasley having to break to avoid Ocon would have probably lost him positions worsening the teams position. Going back to Alonso, you can tell Ocon played a major roll in him leaving.
just to clarify on something you said. in reality , ocon is not actually a deserving race winner. he is a lucky race winner who like many others just won the F1 lottery and stars just lined perfectly for him, even more than luck , it was alonso who gave him that win , that much i am sure you know and respect. so no he is not a deserving race winner. he is just a race winner and a one time wonder f1 winner.
I just love how Aldas uses this ost that makes it look like Ocon's career is over.
Finally a video where someone did there analysis
The problem is not that Ocon's pass was not clean; the problem was that both of them had agreed before the race to not attack each other. If they hadn't, Gasly wouldn't have left such big of a gap at that corner and Ocon would have never been able to push his car through the inside.
It's crazy to think Ocon could get replaced yet Stroll is still allowed to race.
When i seen these two lined up to be teammates i knew there would be friction, i did not expect it to take this long before it had a major talking point.
With the history between them and equal now machinery it was more of a matter of time before they started to become a difficult pairing to manage
This actually aged really well 😅
What I haven't heard people talk about a lot is that it is curious that the penalty was given due to Ocon and Gasly being team mates. Usually in incidents between team mates, the stewards are more lenient as the team is already punished enough. It's just an additional argument (first lap, move not as unclean as people make it appear) for why I find the penalty very harsh. Of course it was still totally stupid by Ocon not following team instructions, but that's not the stewards thing to judge.
Alpine is such a mess right now. Pierre has become a disappointment (when compared to past seasons.) Ocon disobeyed direct team orders and nearly gave Alpine a double DNF, something that has become fairly normal for them. It's getting pretty hard to defend his reputation after 5 years and multiple teammates.
I appreciate your take as its making us really analyze this. I maybe need to see it from the car cameras behind Ocon, but to me if you pause at 56 seconds in, it appears if Gasly eases off or brakes to let Ocon pass, at "best" the Aston passes Gasly making Gasly and Alpine lose potential points to Aston. And at worse the Aston back wheel clips the Gasly's rear wheel, causing the Aston to go airborne with a whole grid behind and even more havoc.
If you watch thoroughbred horses race, they have a single-minded goal, to be the front horse, restrained only by the mighty little man on their back. They just cannot help themselves, it’s primal. It’s almost like Ocon is the same way; when he’s behind the wheel he just can’t help himself. He seems like a pleasant guy off-track, but on-track he is a jerk.
Some crazy takes on this video
Some of them are done right dealsional
I think this is Ocon's last season in F1. All that talent and he's squandered it by being incapable of racing his teammates in a sensible fashion. What a shame.
Bro, Gasly had nowhere to go!
The french civil war continues 😂😂
Alpine is now crying about "Muh All FrEnCh tEaM" 😂😂😂
Ocon is a menace on the track.
Ocon races his teammates harder than any other driver, from another team.
Ocon never was, isn't and never will be a team player.
Alonso gifted him a race win, Ocon paid with war instead, absolute snake!
You're just straight up wrong about Gasly having blame. First of all if the team said don't do anything risky and Ocon does that while they're fighting for their first points just shows he only races for himself. Second, Gasly could've just squeezed Ocon instead but he gave him space and Ocon still decided to wash out. What do you want Gasly to do. Brake while someone is behind him and risk another crash?? He literally can't go anywhere because there is a WALL.
Benching him feels like a knee jerk reaction that should be the last thing Alpine should be doing because it doesn't really address the problem which is that Ocon can sometimes get too aggressive. He just didn't weigh the risk vs reward that well in trying that move, especially on his teammate and not to mention you have a better shot gaining positions in Monaco through strategy than racing. If anything, it's very lucky that Gasly didn't get race-ending damage from that.
I've always though of this with Ocon but the guy doesn't know when to stop fighting, which isn't really surprising. He grew up having to fight for every seat he's ever gotten. We've seen this with Max and Lewis and just about every driver: the way you grew up ultimately determines part of your motivations for racing and what will ultimately dictate how you race against everyone. If you grew up having to always race elbows out, that tendency isn't going away anytime soon.
Ocon has that “I cant be a bad Number 2 driver if im always the Number 1 driver” but truth be told noone is that good and are prone to make mistakes. His problem is that he does NOT take it well.
Expecting anyone let alone Gasly to leave the racing line so Ocon can have comfy overtake is ridiculous to say the least. First of all, Ocon was only able to make a move because both Gasly and his team thought he wouldnt do something so restarted on the first round, on his teammate, in that situation. Then when he did, its not like Gasly drove into him. He was not even defending, just keeping his regular line and Ocon obviously didnt make it because it was never going to work. I am actually amazed he almost didnt fuk it up.
And make no mistake, Ocon is a terrible driver. Not only he shouldnt be in Alpine, he shouldnt be in F1 period. He is a Perez level driver with Verstappen level attitude. Not good enough driver, not good enough teammate. His value for any team equals Lance Stroll.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Bye, bye Ocon!
You will not be missed.
I hate this for Ocon because he's one of my favorites. He was performing well before this race, but his actions have consequences.
In my opinion, there was no space for Gasly to back out. Ocon put him in a position, where he could'nt avoid hitting him.
Earned a sub with your take on this. Fully agree. We have 2 drivers and neither will give way to the other. Beat each other at all cost. That says it all.
This may be the end for Ocon. He has has a history of not playing well with others.
