Esteban Ocon warned his ‘irrational red mist’ will come at heavy cost
Esteban Ocon has been warned he may struggle to fin൩d an F1 seat at "🏅any team" if he continues to clash with his teammates.
Martin Brundle believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon’s future chances in F1 will be damaged by the “ir🍨rational red mist” he has when racing his te𒆙ammates.
Ocon collided with Alpine teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Pierre Gasly on the opening lap of Sunday’s Mon꧅aco Grand Prix after a desperate lung𒀰e down the inside at Portier from Ocon, whose car was sent airborne following tyre-to-tyre contact with his fellow Frenchman.
Alpine boss Bruno Famin warned “there will be consequences” and Sky Sports have reported th🍨at dropping Ocon for the next race in Canada is “under serious consideration”.
It is not the first time that Ocon has clashed with his F1 teammates. He collided with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez when the pair were at Force India/Racing Point and was also criticised by168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Fernando Alonso following several flashpoints.
And former driver turned commentator Brundle reckons the reputation Ocon is earning could end up harming his chances of securing an F1 se꧟at for next sea🦂son.
“The opening lap provided several good reminders of how fiercely competitive and des🎃perate the battle is in the second half of the grid,” Brundle wrote in his.
“Further round in Portier corner just before the tunnel, literally just before the red flag was unfurled, Esteban Ocon lunged up the ⛄inside of his Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly and they made heavy contact. Ocon would be eliminated from any further proceedings with too much damage, but Gasly would finish in tenth place to score a point for the team.
“Ocon is a fine and fast ra꧒cing driver, but history clearly demonstrates that he has an irrational red mist when it comes to racing, particularly against his team-m🍃ates.
“He has been heavily criticised before by Sergio Perez and Fernando Alonso for his intra𒁏-team aggression and contact, and now Gasly too. It will cost Esteban heavily as no front running team would entertain that kind🎉 of mentality, or even perhaps any team.
“A driver represents hundreds of hard working and professional people, and hundreds of millions🅺 of pounds of investment and sponsorship when 🧔driving for an F1 team. You simply can't keep attacking your one team-mate with abandon.”
Ocon took no further part in the race following a red flag suspension, wh✤ile teammate G൩asly went on to score a point in 10th.
