Esteban Ocon believes '12th or 13th' was possible as Alpine did not go out in Hungarian GP Q1 after red flag
Esteban Ocon condemned Alpine's decision not to run at the end of Q1 in Formula 1's Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying as 'not good enough' after both cars were eliminated. Despite the emergence of further rain prior to a Q1 red flag produced by Sergio Perez's slip into the wall at Turn 8, all teams apart from Alpine returned to the circuit in an effort to beat the drop zone.
'Today, I don't know what we do wrong, but it's clearly not good enough, especially with the level of car performance that we have. We need to be doing things perfectly and today, we were going to be able to go through to Q2.' Ocon added that 'the team made the call for both cars to not go out and to save the last set that we had for Q2'.
