What happened between Gasly and Ocon's families?
like with a lot of the pierre and esteban stuff, it’s a little shrouded in mystery but it’s been publicly reported that alpine have advised the gaslys and ocons cannot be in the paddock on the same race weekends.
there were lots of reports online saying that pierre and esteban were both going for funding at the same time (when younger) and it became very nasty and underhand between them all. i think the reports were actually that the gaslys overstepped the mark somehow (and maybe impacted esteban’s funding, though the reports on that are ridiculous in what pierre’s mother is claimed to have done) but esteban also apparently caused a number of crashes during this period in what they thought was an attempt to impact pierre. either way, they hate each other and i don’t think it’s a snarky kind of rivalry either, like there’s genuinely a lot of past drama there.
who knows how it will genuinely play out, and i’m guessing alpine are hopeful it will work itself out because they were friends once but they were still cropping each other out of group photos only a year ago so
Yep waiting for Sir Lewis' seat to become empty.
Although another empty seat after next year could be at RB with Perez maybe bowing out. Nothing to do with the recent drama. Ferrari more than likely will stay with Charles and Sainz unless something drastic happens during next year.
if i were checo i would be running a mile from
red bull tbh
i don’t know if that second seat is an attractive proposition for
any driver, but i do wonder if that’s daniel’s long term plan. i could certainly see max making a case for him.
the big thing with ferrari for me is if charles and carlos
want to stay, they both have a lot of soul searching to do (for different reasons) after this season i think.
Damn, I love people with purpose and high achievers. Imagine starting to work on your dream as young as them. I love racing, this season sucked on so many levels but I still love it so much (maybe we're the masochist lmao).
