[Saba Sports News] According to recent reports from foreign media, the F1 Alpine team is currently facing internal conflicts. During the first lap of the Monaco race a few days ago, two Alpine drivers collided at the Portier corner. Esteban Ocon made an overly aggressive move on the inside of Pierre Gasly while entering the corner, attempting to overtake his teammate, resulting in a collision after exiting the corner. Following this incident, speculations arose among external media and car enthusiasts about the relationship between the two drivers within the team. Normally, when encountering each other, drivers would avoid such collisions. This is not the first time such an incident has occurred between Ocon and Gasly. They had a physical altercation on the first lap of the Miami race earlier, and their avoidance of a collision was more due to luck than skill. Despite warnings to avoid a recurrence, a more serious incident took place in Monaco. The editor believes that if such incidents happen again, the team management may take severe measures, such as fines, team instructions prohibiting Ocon and Gasly from competing for rankings on the field, or even the most severe measure of changing the driver lineup.
