At the end of Canadian GP, the two crossed the finish line in ninth and tenth position Alpine by Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly. The French team is currently in a phase criticizes, with farewells from big shots of the team including Esteban Ocon. The winner of the race in Hungary in 2021 has in fact announced that he will not continue his adventure with the Enstone team. The tenth position in the Canadian stage, however, does not seem to have appeased the anger of Ocon, furious about the team order in Canada.
It's chaos in Alpine, Esteban Ocon is furious in Canada: "No reason for team order"
In fact, at the microphones of Sky Sports F1, commented theteam order imposed on him in the final laps, defining him nonsense: “With about two laps to go I got it the order to let Pierre pass so he could go and get Ricciardo. But the call was nonsense because Daniel was two and a half seconds ahead and still too fast for us. In the end I did my part, which wasman-team".
A difficult period for the former third Mercedes driver, who also comes fromaccident with teammate in Munich. Since then, the Frenchman has also received a lot of criticism from the Team Principal Bruno Famin. "I have always respected whatever decision came to me – commented Esteban post-race – I've never done anything different in my career. Today I did my part, but the team doesn't and this makes me very sad. Unfortunately in Formula 1 you can't be kind. What matters is that I demonstrated that I am a driver who helps and respects the team".
There are still 15 grands prix left until the end of the season, which means that anything could happen, both positive and negative. And given all these tensions (both between teammates and in the team's organizational chart) who knows whether the separation between Ocon and Alpine cannot happen in a shorter time.
