Now, the French team prepares for the final battle of the season in Abu Dhabi. And, soon will be taking their learning from the 2020 season to help them get better for the upcoming one. ESTEBAN OCON HAS FAITH THAT ALPINE WILL BE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH As quoted by Autosport [https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/ocon-alpine-can-be-very-dangerous-to-f1s-top-teams-in-2022/6863507/], Ocon said, “It’s a bit difficult to swallow for sure, we had that third place until 50 metres to the end so the competitors inside us, they are not happy – but we are happy because we have extended our lead on AlphaTauri for 5th place in the constructors.” Esteban Ocon [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-11-18T122254Z_1327932825_UP1EHBI0YE314_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-QATAR.jpg]Formula One F1 – Qatar Grand Prix – Losail International Circuit, Lusail, Qatar – November 18, 2021 Alpine’s Esteban Ocon during a press conference Pool via REUTERS/Andrej Isakovic “We extract a lot from the car and as Fernando would say, it is part of the plan. We are pushing as much as we can and today we got a very strong team result, so pretty pleased with that and very happy for everybody. I think it was a very solid weekend on our side. Once we have the same pace as the top cars we are going to be very dangerous.” Watch Story: From Serena Williams to Chris Hemsworth: Celebrities Lured by the Glitz and Glamor of Monaco [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/f1-wta-tennis-news-from-serena-williams-to-chris-hemsworth-celebrities-lured-by-the-glitz-glamour-of-monaco-gp/] OCON RAGES ON THE TEAM RADIO AFTER A DRAMATIC END TO THE SAUDI ARABIAN GP Ocon seemed to have bagged third place in Jeddah for the Saudi Arabian GP. However, he wasn’t expecting the Mercedes driver to push him till the very end of the race. As Valtteri Bottas stole third place from Esteban; he came onto the team radio to share his frustration. He said, “No, for f**k sake.
