Esteban Ocon suffered a poor weekend for Alpine at the British Grand Prix – but felt the team compounded the trouble.
Alpine’s British Grand Prix was described as “insane” by Esteban Ocon due to a series of errors during a challenging weekend. Ocon, qualifying 18th, faced difficulties and finished 16th, with teammate Gasly unable to start due to a gearbox issue. Opting for an early switch to intermediate tires at Silverstone proved to be the wrong call for Ocon, who pitted three times between laps 20 and 26. Despite finishing ahead of Perez, Ocon expressed his frustration, stating that everything went wrong during the race. Looking ahead to the upcoming race in Hungary, Ocon hopes to bounce back but acknowledges the need to make perfect decisions and optimize the car setup to compete effectively.
