Esteban Ocon spoke about the victory over Fernando Alonso at the end of the 2022 season.
The Frenchman scored 92 points against 81 from his teammate in Alpin, who had more problems with reliability. Alonso left the team and will play for Aston Martin next year.
He is a very, very fast pilot. I needed to add as much as possible to finish above him, and this is very nice.
It was great to work with Fernando and push the team to this level. I`m glad I spent two years with him and wish him all the best at Aston. I hope that in the future we will also fight closely.
The only thing missing this year was the podium. I hope it works out next time, " Okon said.
Esteban finished seventh at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix while Fernando retired.
I am very pleased with today`s result. One more lap and we probably would have got Lando [Norris]. The fight was very tight, but it doesn`t matter.
All goals are met, we finished the season fourth in the Constructors` Championship. Thank God for that. Over the weekend, I lost 2. 5 kilograms due to stress and excessive focus. It is also my best F1 season in terms of points. So I`m very pleased, and the whole team developed the car great during the championship. I hope next year we will close the gap even more, - said Okon after the finish.
