Esteban Ocon: 'I've done my part of the job, but not the team today.'
Esteban Ocon and Alpine were involved in a team orders row in Canada, Ocon finally obliging, but 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve sensed sabotage from the Frenchman.The initial request over team radio was met with a clear “forget it” from Ocon, who was then informed that three laps remained in the race, Ocon eventually letting Gasly through at Turn 8 on lap 69 of 70.
“I’m happy for the team to be able to score with both cars, but the order should be reversed on that occasion,” said Ocon. He said: “That wasn’t good, because we heard him in his comments, ‘I was a team player, I let him by, the team was wrong’ and so on, but he made sure that he waited long enough that it was too late for Gasly to go and attack.
