The two are still seemingly not the best of friends.
Esteban Ocon labelled his former team-mate Fernando Alonso a “f**king idiot” after the two clashed in the sprint shootout.
Just a year after the two came together as team-mates, there was once again contact with seemingly a lack of communication proving to be the downfall. Alonso was going slowly on an out lap but behind him, Ocon was charging towards the line on a flying lap. As Ocon attempted to move past Alonso, it seemed the Alpine driver took too much kerb and lost control, smashing into the Aston Martin car.
Ocon came off far worse with his car losing its rear right tyre and leaving him helpless as he ploughed into the barrier.As to who was at fault, the stewards will decide after the session but Ocon’s mind is made up with him describing his former Alpine team-mate as a “f**king idiot.”Lance Stroll may have qualified third for the Brazilian Grand Prix, but was not pleased by the feeling in the cockpit at Interlagos.
