Fernando Alonso The sprint race of the Brazilian GP ended badly due to a new aggressive defense by Esteban Ocon at turn 4 of the first lap. Immediately after, the Asturian tried to pass the Frenchman on the curve entering the finish line, and as he himself admitted to the commissioners, he did not calculate the time correctly to get out of the Frenchman’s slipstream and they both stuck together. That second accident meant a 5″ penalty for the Asturian, although, however, the Spaniard focused his remarks on highlighting the previous action of his teammate.
“This is what usually happens when we are together, last year I avoided him several times and this year he almost hit me against the wall in Jeddah and also in Hungary. Now, I’m here, so well, sooner or later these things happen thing, I can’t say anything,” he said on ‘DAZN F1’. He repeated his speech in front of the international press, assuring that “it seems that when we start close, there is that kind of defense.”
However, Ocon did not have the same opinion: “That’s his opinion, it’s different from mine. I’m in the front part, so I’m not really the one fighting.”
But more than wanting to fuel controversy between colleagues, Fernando preferred to look at Abu Dhabi. Yes In Mexico, he made clear his desire to end the season with “only two races left…”, this Saturday he emphasized his desire to test Aston Martin after the final appointment in Abu Dhabi and to end his Alpine career.
“I will be in another team next year, he (Ocon) will have another teammate and everything will be different. Now we are in the penultimate race of the year. I just want to go to Abu Dhabi and test the green car, that is my goal now.” , he commented to ‘Motorsport’. That means, although it is not official, he has confirmed that he will test this year’s Aston Martin at the Pirelli test on Tuesday, November 22, for the first time driving with his new team earlier than expected.
“There is still a race left and it will be over, finally,” added the Spaniard with a sigh of relief.
