Fernando Alonso is a leader wherever he goes. It is not a mere opinion, but a fact that earns the respect of his teammates and rivals in whatever competition he embarks on. The last to fall asleep to the Asturian has been his partner Esteban Ocon, who dedicated some emotional words to him in his last publication on Instagram.
«I have discovered a great person and a friend. Running alongside Fernando Alonso has been a privilege. ‘The Plan’ is unleashed, “ said Ocon, highlighting the last sentence with a flare emoji. The Frenchman, who achieved his first victory in Formula 1 thanks to his great defense of Fernando Alonso’s position over Lewis Hamilton, only has good words for what he experienced in 2021.
“Thank you to each of the Alpine members for making me feel at home every time I get in the car . It is only the beginning of our history, let’s build our future Alpine! ”, Explained the driver, making it clear that the team’s plan to return to the top of Formula 1 is more relevant than ever.
Fernando Alonso, for his part, knows that in 2022 he will have an additional advantage over his rivals by knowing how to handle the new 18-inch wheels that come from the Endurance world championship. The Asturian saves that trick to stand out in the first races where his rivals will have to adapt to the new compound.
But before thinking about the potential advantages that Fernando Alonso can have, Alpine must fulfill its part of ‘The Plan’ and provide the driver with a car that lives up to its legend. After winning the 2005 and 2006 titles with the French team, the Asturian hopes that Renault will have enough capacity to give him a car that is avant-garde in design and at the same time powerful to achieve the coveted third title. For now, his partner Ocon is dedicated to that mission and knows who the boss is.
