Earlier this week, Alpine announced that Esteban Ocon’s contract will not be extended for next season. When his teammate was asked to comment on this news at the FIA press conference in Montreal, Pierre Gasly chose his words very carefully.
“It was,” Pierre began after a long silence in response to the question about Ocon’s departure. “I just need time to think because I know how you will interpret every word I say.”
Esteban and I have a long history of relationships, and I believe that over the past year and a half we have managed to establish work and collaboration in a very professional manner. This is important to mention.
As you can imagine, it wasn’t always easy, as the team has two very competitive riders, but considering the history between us, everything was fine. I would stop there.”
