Before the start of the weekend in Austin, it was announced that a group of investors, including well-known athletes, had decided to invest 200 million euros in the Alpine team. Team driver Esteban Ocon commented on the emergence of new investors and spoke about Alpine’s tasks for the remaining five stages of the season.
Esteban Ocon: “It means a lot to me that the champions have joined our team. I can’t wait to meet them in person. I have already exchanged messages with some of them. It’s just incredible that such famous people from the sports world paid attention to us. They know how to succeed and I want to learn from them.
They will make the team stronger, so I’m going into this weekend with confidence. People believe in us, believe in the project and that we can achieve a lot together. I have said more than once that as soon as an opportunity presents itself, we will seize it immediately. We must ensure that more such opportunities arise. The news about the investors is great and has given the entire team confidence.
It’s no secret that we are not having the best season, but there are still five races ahead and we have the opportunity to get results and earn more points. On the last stage I finished seventh – this is not the top five, no win, no podium, but we feel like we did the maximum.
Together with the team we will continue to attack, but the battle is so fierce that it is impossible to radically change the situation, although some teams have succeeded. We must continue to work on improving our weaknesses. We know them and hopefully we can solve everything.’
