In the wake of allegations of favoritism within the Alpine Formula 1 team, Team Principal Bruno Famin has issued a strong reassurance that departing driver Esteban Ocon will continue to receive equal treatment throughout the 2024 season. The controversy gained momentum after a contentious incident at the Canadian Grand Prix, where Ocon, slated to leave Alpine at the season's end, felt slighted during a decision that favored his teammate Pierre Gasly.
In his response to the situation, Famin confirmed the team's commitment to fairness, stating to Autosport, as“I think Esteban can count on all the team to help him to get the best result, because Esteban having the best result is helping the team having the best possible result.“I say it like that, but I should not – because Esteban is part of the team.
