Esteban Ocon demonstrated his great driving skills during the Canadian Grand Prix race, managing to fight his way through the field from P18 into a points finish in P10. However, the Frenchman is far from happy coming from the weekend, feeling like he was robbed of even more points by his own team. On lap…

Esteban Ocon had disappointing results in qualifying yesterday, getting knocked out in Q1.

Alpin had a decent starting position before the race, with Pierre Gasly in tenth and Esteban Ocon in eleventh, but after half a lap their points scoring possibilities were halved when Ocon tried an optimistic pass on Gasly, but left his teammate too little space on the exit of Portier, resulting in his car almost…
