Translation:

Since Alonso left the Enstone structure the relationship between Alpine and the two-time champion has not been optimal, as it was no longer the case in the last races that Fernando competed in blue.

The fact is that this Saturday at the Brazilian Grand Prix, the Aston Martin driver had a collision with Esteban Ocon in turn 3 when he was in his last attempt at SQ1 in the Shootout. The incident ended with the Frenchman against the barriers and with Alonso with his suspension broken.

In the onboard camera of Ocon's car, you can see how he suffers a small 'countersteer' just when he passes next to Fernando, which ends in the collision between the two. The FIA, in its verdict, has indicated that neither of the two drivers is at fault, but Esteban is clear that Alonso moved to the left and that caused the accident.

Later in the Sprint, the Asturian had to deal again with the Alpine, who with both Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, was forced to execute more risky maneuvers than usual.

"Whenever there is an Alpine you have to be extra careful. We touched each other entering turn 6... they must think that our car is narrower than it really is, and again I ended up on the grass," said the Aston Martin driver.

Ocon, when Alonso was his teammate at Alpine, always tried to finish ahead of him anyway. Now, although the Spaniard wears the colors of Aston Martin, it seems that he continues to seek to defeat him by all means whenever he meets him on the track. Thus, Fernando thinks that Esteban is still very immature and that he has not changed his way of seeing things.

"Yes, I heard what that boy said...", the two-time champion commented with a laugh. "He is still very immature and has not changed his way of seeing things, but well, there are other things that don't change either. He came out after me like last year and stayed there, like last year. So everything is still normal," Fernando Alonso has settled.

I guess it takes a huge experience to drive as clean to meet the Fernando standard, though. He's a legend, after all.
