Two-time F1 champion Fernando Alonso remains alongside Este🃏ban 🎃Ocon for 2022.

The duo was evenly matched throughou𒉰t 2021 with Alonso ultimately 🦂coming out on top.

However, it was Ocon who scored big as he claimed the Enstone-based outfit’s first F1 vicღtory since 2013 at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Alonso played his part in that win as he managed to hold up a fast-charging Lewis Hamilton f🥃ꦺor a number of laps.

The Spaniard returned to the podium for the first time since 2014 inಞ the final par🍎t of the season with P3 in Qatar.

It’s been a busy off-season for Alpine with Alain Prost leaving the team, while Otmar Sಌzafnauer has been heavily-linked after leaving Aston Martin.
