Esteban Ocon’s winter preparation has been disrupted
During the presentation of the Alpine A523, the French driver revealed that he had been sick this winter. This disrupted his preparation: he had to make significant efforts to get back in shape.
Not an ideal break. Esteban Ocon, present in London for the unveiling of the new Alpine, revealed that he was seriously ill for a long period during the winter break. This greatly disrupted his preparation for the 2023 season.
“I had to make a lot of effort to try and get back to the best possible level of physical fitness, and I did it,” he said during the presentation.
« It was a little difficult, but I am satisfied with the result and ready to start the season now. I feel stronger, I am stronger than ever, especially thanks to the continuity with this team, because I have more years under my belt, and I know the car from last year well. »
In 2023, the Normand will have a new teammate. With Fernando Alonso leaving for Aston Martin, Pierre Gasly will team up with Esteban Ocon to form a 100% French duo.
(I) I feel good and I think my progress is not over yet. As long as I feel like I’m progressing, I am happy, he added.
I feel motivated and ready. We had a good winter break to reflect on everything and recharge our batteries, and we are coming back stronger.
