Otmar Safnauer told how he relates to the confrontation between Esteban Okon and his teammates.


In 2022, Ocon and Fernando Alonso fought each other hard several times. At the end of the season, the Spaniard moved from Alpin to Aston Martin, and Pierre Gasly became Esteban`s new partner.


Perhaps he (Okon) needs to make more sensible decisions when his partners are around. Races are not won on the first lap, whether you fight with a partner or not. If you`re aggressive against your opponent and you both quit, you both lose. If you fight aggressively with a partner, guess who loses because of a mutual withdrawal? So you need to make the right decisions, and you can overtake the opponent later, - said the head Alpin.


Safnauer confirmed that he had already discussed this issue with Okon:


If you need to be reminded, I will gladly do it.


At the same time, Otmar shared his memories of Esteban`s victory at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix - according to the manager, this indicates the development of the pilot:


Of course, he became more mature, began to better understand the race. I really like that Esteban often acts unerringly under pressure. I saw him win against Vettel. Our car was faster and he didn`t make a single mistake and won.


What impressed me even more was how, in the rainy conditions at Suzuka, a difficult track, he finished ahead of Lewis [Hamilton], whose car was faster.


So he matured, added in this regard. And he shows speed. Can he make improvements? Yes, we will work on some aspects.
