The two-time world 🍷champion referred to other moments this season wജhere his competitiveness with Ocon almost boiled over: “I was close to the wall in Jeddah and in Budapest. Now, on Turn 4. It’s the way these things are.

“Sometimes it is very competitive inside a team.”

Ocon said: “Unfortunate for the team, what happene🐼d.

“We were in a good position but now we’re at the back. So it will be important to🦩 work together.

“🌞It was unfortunate what happened. I was trying to attack the McLaren. Fernando came out of nowhere from the outside, so we touched.

“From there, my race was pretty much over.

“I am q🙈uite calm. If🍷 he isn’t? He will be tomorrow.”

Their partnership will end at the conclusion of this season - Alonso will be in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up for Aston Martin, where he will partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll (who he also made contact with last month in Texas🎉).

Alpine will partner Ocon with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly - the Fr♏enchmen were childhood friends who have occasionall🌼y have a strained relationship.

Alonso said about Saturday’s sprint in Brazil: “Far from ide🤪al when𓆏 you touch on the first lap in a sprint race because it’s too short to come back without a Safety Car.

“On the positive side, the p♐ace was very good today. Close to the leaders, actually.

“♑We could recover a few places. With this pace we can score points.”

Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer said: “We are extremely disappointed with tod🐎ay’s sprint qualifying resul🦩t, which has put us in a worse position on the grid for tomorrow’s main race.

“We𒉰 are in a very tight and competitive championship fight for fourth place in the constructors’ championship; an objective for which over 1,000 staff are tirelessly working and striving towards. Frankly, both Esteban and Fernando must do a better job to compliment the fantastic efforts of everyone in the team by avoiding on-track incidents and com✱promising the entire team’s performance.

“Today, both drivers have let the team down. I expect more from them tomorrow where we must do everything we can to recover som🐽e points from the weekend for the championship.”

Ocon is eighth in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings, Alonso is ninth.
