168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon’s early exit from Alpine is linked to taking part in the post-season F1 test with his new team, Haas.

After the F1 Qatar Grand Prix,168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: reports emerged that Ocon will not race for Alpine in the season-ending Abu Dh🧔abi Grand💝 Prix.

Ocon is expected to step away from Alpine for the final race of the season, giving Jack Doohan an early F1 debut alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly.

Alpine refused to comment when asked by&nb💫sp; about the speculation.

As per Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz, he explained that Ocon and Alpiꦬne advisor Flavio Briatore “struck a deal”, leading to the Frenchman’s premature exit.

The “deal” should me♓an Ocon gets to drive for Haas on Tuesday in the post-race Abu Dhabi test.

“I can confirm now that things have ended completely f𝓀or Esteban Ocon in t꧋erms of him being an Alpine driver,” Kravitz said during Sky’s Qatar GP broadcast.

“Those few hundred metres were his last as an Alpine driver. He will be replaced by Jack Doohan who’s got🔯 that seat for next year at next week’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

“This isn’t an immediate sacking♓ or anything like this. This is a plea bargain. I underꦛstand the situation from the team is that Ocon was very keen to do the test, the post-season test on the Tuesday after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, for his new team, Haas. And he went to Flavio Briatore, the man who makes the decisions at Alpine. He said ‘Flavio, can I do the test?

“And Flavio was like ‘what’s in it for me?’. It seems that they’ve reached a deal, maybe influenced by what’s happened at the first corner, maybe not and Flavio’s deal is that you can do the test for Haas if you don’t race in Abu Dhabi for Alpine because I would like to give Doohan a running start at next year’s Alpine employme🎀nt. That is the deal that has been struck.”

A tough run of form for Ocon with Alpine

Ocon will be happy that his🍌 time with Alpine is coming𝔉 to an end prematurely.

While he did claim a sꦗtunning podium at the Sao Paulo ꧒Grand Prix in wet conditions, it’s been a difficult last few races - in the dry - for Ocon.

Ocon’s not had the latest Alpine upgrades which have contributed to Ga💫sly’s impressive run of performances.

Alpine are adamant there’s been nothing wrong🌌 with Ocon’s F1 ✃car.

Ocon qualifie🎐d last on merit in Qatar, while Gasly was a Q3 contender🌳 at the Lusail International Circuit.

His race then ended on the opening lap.
