4.11.2024 Esteban Ocon: Getting on the podium is amazing. A special race for the Alpines

Ocon was very pleased with his podium finish at the São Paulo Grand Prix.
Driver Alpin managed to finish in second position - largely because the team delayed the pit stop until the last minute, and as a result, both drivers of the French stable were able to change tires before the restart, when the race was stopped by red flags.
What a day! Especially considering how difficult this season is for us. It was great to perform on our site - and the good news is that in the rain the characteristics of the cars of different teams are slightly equalized.
Getting on the podium is amazing. In dry conditions the car was very difficult to control, but when it started to rain it became much easier for me. Today’s race was special for us, ” said Ocon.
The race in Brazil was legendary: Verstappen won from 17th, two Alpins on the podium
