The Alpine F1 team faces a potential lineup shakeup after Esteban Ocon's controversial crash at the Monaco GP.
Following a disruptive crash at the Monaco Grand Prix, Alpine's team dynamics are under the microscope as team chief Bruno Famin held consequential discussions with another driver, potentially hinting at changes within the team. Esteban Ocon's aggressive maneuver on the tight Portier corner led to his early retirement and subsequent penalty, as well as damage to his teammate Pierre Gasly.
Instantly, Alpine's management expressed their discontent, with Team Principal Bruno Famin vocalizing significant dissatisfaction over the mishap. Following this, Ocon received a five-place grid penalty set for the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix, complemented by a stern hint from Famin about imminent “consequences,” a sentiment he shared in his statement to Canal+.
“Ocon went down the inside of Gasly at Portier, flipped him in the air, Ocon’s car had to go to the garage and had broken suspension, so he was out. “Gasly though ran P10. Despite being annoyed about it, Gasly did pick up a point today. So well done Pierre Gasly. Ran P10, stayed P10."“Famin said that a decision will be made, Ocon put a tweet out saying ‘that’s absolutely my fault’, but the team aren’t letting us even try to talk to Bruno Famin about what this direct consequence will be for Esteban Ocon.
