Ocon admits it was a 'good satisfaction' to beat Alonso over their time as F1 teammates in Alpine. 'He's a very, very fast driver. I had to up my game as much as I could.'
Alonso was hit by a number of reliability issues this year that cost him points, but Ocon said he"had my issues too" and that it felt good to have won their head-to-head battle.
"It feels good, I would say," said Ocon."He's a very, very fast driver. I had to up my game as much as I could.While Ocon failed to record a podium in F1 this year, he recorded his highest points total to date and matched his best championship finish of eighth from his first full season in 2017. The Frenchman felt that a podium finish was the"only thing" that was missing from his season, which he rated as being his best in F1 so far.It came despite recurring reliability issues for Alpine over the season that more often than not seemed to impact Alonso's car. Ocon felt Alpine had"created this position ourselves" with its push for performance, but that he had enjoyed working with Alonso to help take the team forward in that drive.
