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.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
\u00ab 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. \u00bb<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
(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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
