In a recent incident during a race, Ocon tried to overtake Gasly forcefully. It didn’t go well, and Ocon’s car got damaged, ending his race. Gasly also had some damage but managed to continue after a red flag stop.
After this incident, Alpine’s team boss, Famin, criticized Ocon’s move. He said it was not what they wanted to see and could have cost the team valuable points.
Alpine is now thinking about what to do to prevent such conflicts between the drivers in the future. They might have the drivers agree to certain rules or even bench Ocon for a race to make a point.
This incident is not the first time Ocon has been involved in a dispute with a teammate. In the past, he had conflicts with Perez and Alonso too.
With Gasly, Ocon has a tough relationship, which is a problem for the team. If Alpine decides to bench Ocon, it could affect his future in Formula 1. Other teams might lose interest in him if they see him as someone who can’t work well with teammates.
Ocon needs to show that he can work better with Gasly and be more careful on the track. He doesn’t have to give up racing hard, but he needs to find a balance between being competitive and being a team player.
If Ocon can improve his relationship with Gasly and show that they can work together for the team’s good, Alpine might keep them both. Otherwise, Ocon might find himself without a seat for the next season.
