Alpine had already swapped their drivers once to see if Gasly could hunt down and catch Aston Martin’s168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Fernando Alonso, which he failed to do. 

The French outfit have since admitted t🌄hey did not do a good enough job in communicating the plan clearly to ဣGasly during the race. 

But Gasly was in no mood to give anything away when he was quizzed about the team order ahead o🎃f this weekend’s Qatar Grand Prix.

“Everything has been discussed. I’ll leave it there,” Gasly abruptly replied when aske☂d if he is still unhappy about the call. 

When pressed about the 🌄rules of engagement at Alpine, Gasly responded: “As I said, everyt💜hing has been discussed and I have no further comment.” 

Ocon insisted Alpine have made it clear to him and Gasly what they expect ꧒if a similar situation was to arise in the future. 

“We have dis𓂃cussed it internally, wဣhich is the most important, and we know where we are going now,” a more talkative Ocon said. 

“It was similar thing a couple of years ago with Daniel and Fernando. We’ve made those swit🦩ches from one side or another.

“The important thing for the team is to maximise the result we can get. We tried to do that in the race. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to get on🎃e more position so we switched back. 

“Now😼, we know where we’re going with the team and that’s the most important.”

Asked if he could understand Gasly’s frustജration, Ocon said: “I’m always on the side of, I prefer to race.

“It doesn’t matter what there is to gain in front. There shouldn’t 💛be artificial racing in any way.&ꦰnbsp;

“I’m more of an old-school guy, I prefer to race, it doesn’t matter the circumstances is, even if there’s a p🌺odium to get in front. 

“But I also understand the side of the team, which is to try and get as many points as ౠwe can. You need to understand both.”
