Fernando Alonso has responded to Esteban Ocon’s jibe after their clash in the sprint shootout at the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
The relationship between former Alpine teammates took a turn for the worse in Brazil when Ocon collided with Alonso during qualifying. Ocon called Alonso an “idiot” over team radio, and Alonso responded later. Despite starting from the back of the grid, Alonso impressed by finishing the sprint race in 11th place. He mentioned that they lost the day due to the incident in qualifying, but they focused on analyzing the degradation and the condition of the car. Alonso felt they were faster than Haas, Alpine, Oscar Piastri, and Carlos Sainz, but they struggled to overtake due to the DRS train. For the grand prix, Alonso hopes to fight for the podium or at least maintain a top 5 position, as he believes they are faster than Lewis Hamilton.
