Yeah great battles between Ocon and Alo. Ocon definitely has the upper hand in 2022, maybe Alonso's age is finally catching up?

Edit: typo
Its just 2 races and its equal now between them lets wait more races

No, Fernando was the much better driver in this race, Ocon sucks, this guy seems nice outside the track but he's not as a teammate, expect fire behind the pit this time.

No Alonso was faster than Ocon and the Alpine was faster in race trim not few laps before the end
I agree with Fouad. Alo was faster and pulled away.

There was a "cool engine" on Alonso's steering wheel. Before it turned off.

Ocon is proving to be a really good driver. He put the lap together in qualify but he didn't have as good a balance in the race as Alonso. He's far from "sucks".

Race management from Alpine was horrible...

And Alonso had really bad luck...

I mean his character as a teammate, ask Perez .

I disagreed with not putting an end it to the fighting between Ocon and Alonso, cause Alonso was clearly faster and it cost the cars time. That is what Otmar did at Race point.

What are you on about? Alonso was faster. Ocon is a dirty teammate who shoved Alonso into wall almost took them both out because he couldn’t accept Alonso was faster and ruined Alonso’s chances of fighting Russell for p5.

Alonso will not forget this after he let Ocon passed in Bahrain like a true team player. Also poorly handled by alpine to allow Alonso to lose time fighting ocon.

I hope Alonso has used his bad luck because honestly two engines with problems in two races is unacceptable. Especially when ocon has no engine problems.

Really pleased with today despite alonsos failure. Car has the pace in hand, alo was saving tyres and recharging engine and then closed up mighty quick to Magnussen and was around 6 seconds behind ham when his engine died. The YOYO effect reminded me a lot of 2012. He used to do the same thing, drop back and save tyres and attack later in the stint. Not too concerned about reliability, better than Honda still and bottas and ric also stopped at the same time as alo. Could also be alo fault by not cooling engine enough. Very happy and optimistic we can be p4 this year

Ocon almost caused a red bull Baku type incident when he knew Alonso was faster. He’s a dirty driver to his own teammate when Alonso was always fair with him like in Bahrain. I’m still fuming but what goes around comes around so I’m not worried as long alpine can fix reliability on Alonso’s side and keep getting closer to the top 3.

I agree with you. Alonso was faster and could have fought with Russel.

Agree also on the point that Alonso will not forget this. The old guy schooled Ocon already after the dangerous situation and showed him who is the boss on the track.

Alpine needs to fix that. But the good thing is that the car has some serious race pace. The car is a very solid foundation.

That was a mistake from the team they lost in 10 laps 10s to Russel why fighting so hard in the beginning if it was at the end for sure but at the start no

I don’t get why that mode reduces Alonso’s pace to basically nothing so he has to stop anyway or why his engine was even hot when he wasn’t exactly on anyones gearbox.

I’m still fuming about Ocon’s attitude and dangerous driving when he couldn’t accept Alonso is faster. I’m waiting with baited breath for Alonso’s redemption for this.

Ah don't be too harsh on him. He knew he messed up and said it on the radio to the team after bottas overtook him. He'll learn from it. I don't think we had the pace for Russel anyway

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Hopefully they'll talk about it with the team and make sure that doesn't happen again. Aside from that I think it was ok. Well, aside from the fact that it didn't make the team faster during those laps.
