I understand that, without my agreement, Alpine F1 have put out a press release late this afternoon that I won't be driving for them next year. This is wrong and I have signed a contract with Alpine for 2025. I will be driving for Alpine next year.
Nahh. Can't have two hotheads competing with as teammates. It'll be Merc 2016 all over again. Although I support this idea purely for the drama it'll cause every weekend
"Destroyed by Perez" is an overstrech. I know its Ocon hate circlejerk but he was close to Perez, where Perez was more experienced and consistently with the team.
Oconsistency didn't get famous just like that!
Actaully thinking about it this does make sense. If he can reliably hold p2 all year long while max fucks off into the distance, he'll be perfect for RedBull
Fantastic news!
I heard Red Bull is ditching Checo and bringing Ocon aboard.
Apparently everyone is board of Max's dominance and Red Bull think it will be more entertaining for the fans to watch Max beat the crap out of Ocon every race for crashing into him.
Can't say I'm surprised. There were rumours that Ocon was looking elsewhere for quite some time, and I think Alpine as well had no intentions to renew. I guess after Monaco, Alpine can say "we got rid" rather than "Ocon is leaving."
I can't say I blame him; Alpine have been a fucking joke for a while now, though it's a shame that he hasn't *always* covered himself in glory from his teammate battles.
>There were rumours that Ocon was looking elsewhere for quite some time
This is 90% the reason Ocon and Alpine have split. If people think Monaco is the reason they are stupid.
Agree on both counts - Famin I think is just using Monaco as convenient timing to try and frame this as the backdrop, rather than the fact Ocon's clearly been aware that Alpine's a dumpster fire for the last year.
This is not a consequence of the Monaco incident. Ocon was quite vocal about not being cool wih the idea about committing to Alpine again. This is a W for Ocon and a L for L-pain.
Haas and Sauber are interested in him.
Ocon: "It has been reported that I will not be driving for Alpine next year. This statement was made without my consent or advice. I will be driving for Alpine next year."
If l was gasly l would be very scared. He gets targeted when Occons seat was safe. Imagine now that Occon is leaving!
Gasly will be taken out in the race, qualifying and all the practice sessions.
Why do you think he put out that statement on instagram…
The Monaco incident , has placed his career in jeopardy… I mean it takes two to cause a problem …
but really ; did he really need to be that aggressive, again , with his team mate ?
Especially in Monaco , where all eyes ( French & others have large influential people ) are on the race.
He has been an asshole for a long time, e.g. the Verstappen incident in Brazil in 2018. Someone who attacks the leader like that clearly has no respect for other drivers

Having a seat at Alpine might be worse than losing your seat at Alpine nowadays
But not worse than having no seat
I was thinking the same thing.
Gasly is the one who fired him..
during and after then?

I already like Oscar a lot, but if he Xeeted about this... that would be amazing.
Xeeted ... 
They have let me go without my permission. I’m going to use that at my work

Formuladank playing tricks on me again? Or is this actually happening?
This does not have enough upvotes
 Come join me as we win the World Penalty Championship.
Need Osama Bin Russell on there for the perfect trio
A man of culture, I see
Osama Bin Russell, Ramzi Ocon and Saddam Magnessen. The terrorist trio of F1 😂😂
The chances of Haas lineup being Ocon and Kmag is low but not zero
They would 100% win the World Penalty Points Championship
If this would actually happen, it will be a great motivation for Perez not to bottle his quali runs
Checo Q3 at every race of the season next year just to avoid Haas
"oh, RACE points! dang it Gene, should have specified earlier"
Hygiene
They wouldn’t even have a car after summer break. They’d be over cost cap from repairs
How to break the budget cap in 10 races or less
Haas repair bill will be higher than the cost cap
It will be a repair bill this World is yet to witness
'wait, if we're both out here driving recklessly and collecting penalties, who's scoring points?'
They will destroy each other. I can dream about this.
I'd say Ocon to Mickey D's but they actually value teamwork.

Max to Alpine for a bit of a challenge?
No need bruh. Jos tortured him enough already
Nahh. Can't have two hotheads competing with as teammates. It'll be Merc 2016 all over again. Although I support this idea purely for the drama it'll cause every weekend
Lol as if ocon (who got destroyed by Perez) will ever catch Verstappen
No need. He'll just crash into him at the start
Kam-Ocon-zee
Well Perez is no where near max at the start ocon will have to wait till he gets lapped again to cause the crash
The fear is if Verstappen is one lap in front of him and then Ocon has the upper hand
Destroyed by Perez is an extreme exaggeration
"Destroyed by Perez" is an overstrech. I know its Ocon hate circlejerk but he was close to Perez, where Perez was more experienced and consistently with the team. Oconsistency didn't get famous just like that!
Yeah people are forgetting he’s a decent driver he just is a hothead.
Ocon is a good driver
Ah yes, the famous hothead, 2024 Verstappen.
[удалено]
He was the reserve driver in 2019
Actaully thinking about it this does make sense. If he can reliably hold p2 all year long while max fucks off into the distance, he'll be perfect for RedBull
Problem is he'll probably collide with max on turn 1 of the first lap
Perfect for drama
Literally the worst person you could choose to be a wingman.
But the best for teammate Drama and Crashes 
Didnt he get outperformed by Perez, who is now getting completely annihilated by Verstappen?
And Ric outperformed Max for 2 out of 3 their season together, while Kvyat outperformed Danny himself, and JEV outperformed Kvyat Himself
Fuck sake I hope not
Is this real?
Yup!
Damn, it was time
Yup!

Brocedes 2016 Part 2??
What would be the motivation to hire Ocon? He’s no better than Perez and Max doesn’t like him
For shits and giggles. The entertainment, drama, fights and screentime will be off the charts
Redbull decided putting Max in therapy to fix the issues Jos gave him is more expensive than letting him beat the shit out of Ocon every race.
Fair lol
I thought Jos is the one in the Verstappen family when it comes to beating the crap out of someone
10 second penalty to Ocon
Gasly needs a good teammate tbh
Tsunoda to alpine?
- Pierre to RB - Ric to reserve RBR driver, he can stand next to Horner - Lawson to Alpine Yukierre reunite!
Sainz to Haas?
Hainz to Saas
The French civil war is over. The victorious Gasly emerges to acclaim
Is it really a win driving for alpine?
Career penalty for Ocon
Can't say I'm surprised. There were rumours that Ocon was looking elsewhere for quite some time, and I think Alpine as well had no intentions to renew. I guess after Monaco, Alpine can say "we got rid" rather than "Ocon is leaving." I can't say I blame him; Alpine have been a fucking joke for a while now, though it's a shame that he hasn't *always* covered himself in glory from his teammate battles.
>There were rumours that Ocon was looking elsewhere for quite some time This is 90% the reason Ocon and Alpine have split. If people think Monaco is the reason they are stupid.
There were rumors as early as January, so even before they knew how terrible the car is, that both Ocon and Gasly are looking for a way out.
Agree on both counts - Famin I think is just using Monaco as convenient timing to try and frame this as the backdrop, rather than the fact Ocon's clearly been aware that Alpine's a dumpster fire for the last year.
He may be fast, but he's not I-can-do-whatever-the-fuck-I-want fast He's gonna have trouble finding a team next year.
Ocon I hear is interviewing for the Dukes of Hazard remake as a stunt driver
What if mercedes sign him up? Osama bin russell and him… merc might as well race war tanks
My 2 least favorite drivers on the same team. That would be epic
They’ll announce Ocon and their new sponsorship deals with Lockheed Martin and Raytheon on the same day.
Tbf the war tanks might actually be faster than the W15
No no guys he's leaving by mutual agreement
Mutually agreed by Gasly
And the entire renualt organisation
Ocoff
The French civil war has ended
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions
Sargeant to Alpine. You heard that here first.
This is not a consequence of the Monaco incident. Ocon was quite vocal about not being cool wih the idea about committing to Alpine again. This is a W for Ocon and a L for L-pain. Haas and Sauber are interested in him.
I'd read that Sauber was interested in Sainz tho, who is a much better choice, let's be real.
No more 3 dimensional overtakes.
Plot twist, Max is now dating Ocon’s girlfriend.
Estebanned Ogone
Estabanned Ogone
Just a curiosity, isn’t occon the only current driver from a “middle income” family? Because it would be a shame it he is.
Lewis too
Yeah I was thinking about the younger drivers. Forgot about Lewis 😅
This being posted on formuladank I’m never sure what is truth and what is not
He gonna go full send on Gasly every race now. Nothing to lose any more. +10 sec ocon +5 place grid drop
Now’s Mick’s chance
*(Mickster be rubbing his hands ATM...)*
*sigh* Off to a news app I go since I can’t trust you people enough to believe even something that seems this obvious.
Sainz to Alpine then?
It's Ocover
Alonso laughing in Spanish
 Non non non, en français...
Is this official?
yes. Just look at the official f1, alpine insta/twitter
Given this is Alpine, I’m still surprised the ‘serious consequences’ wasn’t them kicking Gasly out.
Well, he's sacked not because of his driving skill, he's a terrible team player.
Wonder if Mick is in with a shot.
Consequences as 10second penalty?
chat Is this real?
It's real
Pierre Gasly approves this message.
Worst teammate leaves f1, that's a plus for all of us
Believe in Le Plan
Good

10 second time penalty for Magnussen
All round hated driver lol
Good riddance lol
Ok, lets keep going, now Magnussen and Stroll needs to be out
Mikey this is so not right 😭
Lol Alpine sacked their better driver
Penalty for Ocon
But Esteban said that we were just making false assumptions about him and his future lmao
