Alpine: Team game paid off in Brazil GP after driver “silliness” in F1 sprint

bounced back from a disastrous sprint event at Interlagos that saw the two drivers collided twice on the opening lap, ruining both of their races.

One of the keys to the performance was Ocon agreeing to let Alonso past after soon the late safety car restart, allowing the Spaniard to take advantage of his fresher tyres. “But I think what it shows most importantly is that when you play the team game, everybody wins. The drivers, when they score points, they get their points bonus, and the team wins.

Szafnauer made it clear that the drivers had reacted after being lectured following their collisions in the sprint."Yeah, you have to point out to them that it's unacceptable to come together when you've got over 1000 people between Enstone and Viry working tirelessly to make sure we finish fourth in the championship, bringing upgrades, working Saturdays, Sundays, making sure that the car is as competitive as it can be, and the mechanics here too.

AlpineF1Team **And to have that silliness on track where you just run into each other, push your teammate wide, especially when it's so close in the championship - I think the message got through** After the humiliation, Alpine ought to make sure their secret documents are under lock and key

AlpineF1Team **you've got over 1000 people between Enstone and Viry working tirelessly to make sure we finish 4th in the championship, bringing upgrades, working Saturdays, Sundays, making sure that the car is as competitive as it can be** Incredible that Alpine people also work on weekends

AlpineF1Team **Szafnauer made it clear that the drivers had reacted after being lectured following their collisions in the sprint** Indeed, it's days like this that Alonso misses his biological father/partner in crime hence why he can't wait to jump ship after one more race.

AlpineF1Team To be fair, what really salvaged Alpine's weekend was the double dnf for rival McLaren therefore Alpine didn't need to lift a finger.
