Esteban Ocon recently revealed intentions for significant changes within the squad, revealing Alpine’s determined response to McLaren’s stunning leap in performance.
Their poor performance at Silverstone saw Pierre Gasly and Ocon retire due to separate issues, while their tenacious rival McLaren triumphed with an incredible podium finish. The fight for dominance in the Formula One pecking order heats up as Alpine attempts to close the gap, ensuring an exciting showdown on the racing circuit.
In a candid media exchange, including FormulaNerds, Esteban Ocon encapsulated Alpine’s season dynamics, highlighting McLaren’s soaring performance as proof of the competition’s fickleness. He also revealed Alpine’s upcoming upgrades, set to reignite the team’s momentum before the summer break. Though not game-changers, Ocon eagerly anticipates integrating these enhancements into his car, fueling optimism for a resurgent Alpine.
Ocon said, “Yeah, I mean, I think we were, you know, in a much better shape at the start of the season. And two races ago, I think, compared to McLaren. But it shows you how things can swing, you know, quite quickly.”
And we also have, you know, some bigger stuff coming to our cars later on before the break. So that’s what we are going to try and get quickly, and hopefully, it’s going to help us. The front has helped, you know, they definitely went in the right direction.
But we need more definitely coming. I mean, it’s supposed to be a step in general. It’s supposed to work with what is coming later on. So, yeah, I’m looking forward to seeing what will be brought to the car,” an article from sportskeeda.com wrote.
