Esteban Ocon is already fearing that his 2024 F1 car will be “slow”.
David Croft, the Sky Sports F1 broadcaster, shared that Esteban Ocon expressed concerns about the Alpine car being a bit slow. Despite Ocon and teammate Pierre Gasly’s podium finishes last year, Alpine did not make significant progress. The departures of CEO Laurent Rossi, team principal Ottmar Szafnauer, and sporting director Alan Permane added to the behind-the-scenes changes at the team. Despite the financial investment from a consortium including Ryan Reynolds, Anthony Joshua, and Rory McIlroy, Ocon’s early fears are not a good sign. Crofty also discussed the potential changes in the pecking order, hoping for a Mercedes car that can rival Red Bull.
