Esteban Ocon believes that both Alpine drivers suffered from reliability issues throughout the 2022 Formula 1 season.
After his retirement from the Mexico City GP, Fernando Alonso was frustrated about Alpine’s reliability, claiming that “there are always reliability issues for car 14”.
However, Ocon thinks that Alonso is not the only victim of Alpine’s mechanical problems.
“I broke the gearbox in Imola, I broke the car in Silverstone, I [had a] DNF in Singapore,” he said.
“I can count them as well on my side. I think we’ve both had issues.”
He added: “We are happy with the strategy of the team, to push the pace of the car in front of the reliability.
“And that was always the aim of the team.”
