Esteban Ocon threatens to change the history of Fernando Alonso's teammates in Formula 1

No driver in the history of Formula 1 has a better balance in the duel against his teammates than Fernando Alonso. An almost incontestable domain before which Esteban Ocon, the thirteenth companion of the Asturian pilot in his career at the Gran Circo, wants to reveal himself. At the moment, the Frenchman is beating him and would become the second driver to do so if everything remains the same until the end of the season.In 2015, in a horrible year at McLaren for Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button achieved what no one had ever achieved. In a World Championship that ended up lifting Lewis Hamilton, Button scored 16 points, five more than Alonso in one of McLaren’s worst seasons. Precisely, the British team chose that year to partner with Honda, an alliance that ended in disaster and at the beginning of Fernando Alonso’s bad relationship with the Japanese engine supplier: Tarso Marques, Alex Yoong, Jarno Trulli, Jaques Villeneuve, Giancarlo Fisichella, Lewis Hamilton, Nelsinho Piquet, Romain Grosjean, Felipe Massa, Kimi Raikkonen and Stoffel Vandoorne. Eleven drivers who have competed against Fernando Alonso in the same team during his career in Formula 1 and who have failed to beat him. Some of these duels have been kept forever in the retina of Gran Circo fans: his duel with Trulli in Renault’s first year, his draw against Hamilton in 2007, the ‘Fernando is faster than you’ (Fernando is faster than you) that they told Massa during their time at Ferrari… Nobody expected this level from Esteban Ocon In total, Fernando Alonso has managed to be 83% of the time ahead of his teammates. A statistic that is not weighing on Esteban Ocon, a man who is vindicating himself during this World Cup at the controls of the Alpine.Many believed that he could be very touched in his duel against Alonso and that it could even cause the end of his career in Formula 1, but the Frenchman is driving very well and for now he looks in the rearview mirror at the Asturian in qualifying.

He has only achieved five points and occupies the 13th position. At the moment, the Asturian rider is having difficulties in adapting to the French team, something that was again evident at the Monaco Grand Prix last weekend. If everything continues like this, Ocon could become Alonso’s second teammate to beat him in a Formula 1 World Championship.
