Esteban Okon said that he does not count on friendship with his new partner Pierre Gasly. However, the Alpine rider stressed that he sees no problem in this and has no doubt that he and Gasly will be able to work together in the interest of the team.
Esteban Ocon: “We are professionals, so we will work as necessary to get results. I don’t think Pierre and I will ever be best friends, but we don’t have to. The most important thing is that the team has to have the right atmosphere, and that’s how it is now, and it will be that way all year long.
It is important that we maintain the current level of cooperation throughout the season. We are not in a situation where we can claim victory in every race. We have to develop a new car and for that it is necessary to be as open as possible and to exchange ideas.
I’m not afraid – Pierre and I will work very well together. We have already entered into a partnership and I look forward to continuing it.”
