Penalized even before the start of the race… For Alpine, this weekend in the Miami Grand Prix promises to be still very complicated. The French team, still chasing their first points after five rounds, had placed Esteban Ocon in the best position on the starting line for the sprint race (13.e), which starts on Saturday 4 May (18.00).
Penalty 10 seconds
However, leaving the pits to join the track and position himself on the grid, Esteban Ocon, visibly unconcerned, collided with Ferrari Charles Leclerc! After a few seconds of doubt about the condition of the front wing after this shock, the Frenchman finally calmed down at the microphone Canal + by very quickly cutting off the question of this incident.
In truth, the French driver must have suspected it, the commissioners studied this incident, before finally sanctioning the alpine driver by 10 seconds, even before the race started! A rare event, which should not please the Norman and which still puts him in difficult conditions to perform this weekend…
As for Pierre Gasly, his car has a “gearbox” problem… He sets off on the 16the and therefore should not pick up the first points for the French team this season either.
