In a disappointing turn for Alpine at the Miami Grand Prix weekend, Esteban Ocon reveals the team has regressed, missing a chance at Q3 due to powertrain setbac
, Esteban Ocon reveals the team has regressed, missing a chance at Q3 due to powertrain setbacks. Ocon described the qualifying as the least maximized this season, highlighting significant challenges.
Ocon, who has shown competitive flashes this season, found himself grappling with more than just his rivals on Saturday. Describing multiple issues with his A524 including engine cut-outs and a loss of turbo boost, the French driver expressed frustration over the reality that these mechanical issues directly impacted his qualifying efforts. The issues ensured an exit in Q2, bringing his qualifying session to an early end.
"It looks good because everyone’s saying, yeah, two cars in Q2, but no, we’ve been in Q2 a lot this year," Ocon continued. “This session, there was more on the table. Unfortunately, the changes we did were not the best. And on top of that, we had an engine deficit with a tenth and a half. “So all these little things add up. And in the end, if you put them together, you get closer to Q3. And today, yeah, that was probably the less maximised session of the year.”
