The incident between Alpine drivers at the start of the Monaco Grand Prix not only resulted in a series of fines against Esteban Ocon from the stewards, but also sharp criticism from the team…
Bruno Famen, team leader: “Esteban’s attack was completely inappropriate. This is exactly what we don’t want to see in racing, and there will certainly be consequences. We will take drastic measures.”
Pierre Gasly (10th): “In principle this should not happen. I am disappointed with both Esteban and the team. We cannot afford this kind of behavior on the track.
We had clear instructions for the race, but they were not followed and you should never take those kinds of risks against a teammate. I am sure we will discuss all this, but we cannot afford to repeat a similar situation in the future.”
Esteban Ocon (meeting): “Today’s incident was my fault, the break was too short and I apologize to the team.”
