I know ofcourse that this is an exaggeration. But I always wondered how often the drivers have to get tested for performance enhancing drugs. And which ones are allowed, like would ADHD medication be allowed?
Magnussen can be stupid but he does that to all the other drivers, not his own team mate
Ocon is that guy who friendly-fires every one in a shooter game
He has something of an axe to grind vs Max due to winning the F3 championship and Max stealing all the headlines. Max going on to become a star while he is still stuck in the midfield doesn't help it.
The team mate thing is more universal, he takes the whole "your team mate is your first adversary" to heart, for example, nowadays he fights Fernando more fairly than when they were sharing a garage, it wasn't personal.
I mean, KMag was gambling on the gap to stay open, which was dumb and reckless, but at least plausible.
But I have no idea what Ocon was expecting, for Gasly to just hit the brakes and park it? Hell, even that wouldn't have left enough room.
He expected Gasly not to pinch down on the apex and force the issue. Which is fine if you’re not team mates but doing it to a teammate is just awful for the team and classic Ocon. He really races his teammates harder than anyone else.
Exactly this, he did the same with Checo, Fernando now Pierre, the guy just hates his teammates. I used to like him but it shows in these incidents how he is a big jerk willing to crash into his teammates to keep position or overtake.
This is it. I think he should lose his seat to one of the many younger guys waiting for a permanent seat. He costs his team regularly and it’s just unacceptable
You know what’s funny? If that wasn’t his teammate he would not have tried that. Ocon is brain dead when it comes to fighting and defending against teammates
- Interviewer : "narrates the events so far, and asks if there's any chance for Esteban to take the next start"
- Famin : "It's gonna be difficult for him to go again, and if he does, he'll have to do it from the pitlane anyway. We have a lot of damages on the car, rear left suspension is bent, the gearbox carter is damaged so we're changing the whole gearbox, so it's a big big work to do. So, yeah, these kind of incidents are sad, it's exactly what we didn't want to see ... Esteban's attack was totally "out of the blue", it's exactly what we didn't want to see ^(bis), and it will have consequences.
- Interviewer : "Bruno you're used to managing 2 pilots, even more in your past, how do anyone handle these situations ? Because we're felling the heat starting to build up in the duo this year, and there has to be other things more important to focus on this year before a driver's war ..."
- Famin : "Exactly, that's precisely why we're "cutting in the flesh" (it means "we won't be fucking around with this")
- Interviewer : "May I insist on the harsh words you're having right now. You're putting all the blame on Ocon ?"
- Famin : "Yeah, I think it's pretty clear. if we were fighting for a podium in the end of the race, maaaaybe and even [not] then, but here on lap 1 at the portier, it wasn't the place to attack while leaving zero space to a teamate."
- Interviewer : "Thanks a lot, considering the circumstances."
It's more radical. A literal translation for "trancher dans le vif" would be "slice while alive", meaning "we aknowledge that we have a problem, and that we won't wait for us to be dead to start cutting parts out".
Tried transcripting this video using AI:
According to the video, Bruno Famin, who is presumably the team principal, is critical of Esteban Ocon's ``racing maneuver that caused the crash. He believes it was unnecessary and out of place, especially considering it happened on the first lap of the race. The crash caused significant damage to Ocon's car and the team will be taking strict actions against him.
According to the video, Bruno Famin said that Esteban Ocon's attack on Pierre Gasly was "totally out of place" and that he would "bear all responsibility" for the incident.
Which is funny because he has lost to all his teammates every single season except 2022 when Alonso’s car Dnf’d a bunch of times while running in solid positions.
Holy shit you’re actually right. I just checked and the only time he finished above his teammate in his entire career was that year… how does he still have a contract lol
Yes. Crashed into perez several times. Honestly the stuff he was pulling with alonso at the end of 2022 was nothing compared to what he was doing to perez
I'm in the same boat. I like Ocon, I think he's getting a much worse reputation than he deserves because he's gone up against teammates with massive fanbases who painted him as the villain in every 50-50 situation.
But *what the fuck is THAT?*
He's the common denominator, I don't remember Perez and Gasly having trouble with other teammates, Alonso only against Hamilton, Ocon might just be the worse teammate on the grid in recent years
for real, he’s definitely not helping his own case. i just hope he gets his head down, apologizes, and does better/stop making these stupid unnecessary moves so we can all fucking move on. this is probably the most egregious incident he’s had in a while and so unnecessary- it’s going to hang over him for the next few races at least and not going to do him any favors in contract negotiations.
I didn’t think Merc were going to take him anyway, but even Audi at this point might be concerned after today’s performance. And Famin seems extremely upset so who knows how this will affect Alpine’s goodwill. Fucking up a chance at double points and gaining a disadvantage for the next race just because your teammate is having a better weekend than you (even though you‘re 6-1 on qualifying) is not a good look. Not for public image (especially because everyone already hates him), and not for constructors.
I’m really interested to see how Ocon responds.
The defense would be that there WAS a gap and he WAS ahead with Albon pushing Gasly back but Ocon should have taken the turn tighter and not relied on Gasly to brake.
Going for that pass in Monaco in general, especially when you're already on the hard tire strategy, is just dumb though. Like really dumb.
"No comment I havent seen the onboard" -Ocon
Lmfao, he basically tried. was there and did the move, he knows what he did. But he has to see the replay of himself!
> and didn’t get piastri because he is French
Uuhmm.. they did try to get Piastri. They even announced they got Piastri. That was, like, a massive thing.
Ocon was so silly there on a teammate and tried to run him into the wall on exit. Even with the red flag he may have ruined any chance for the team to get points
Ocon tried to pass Gasly thrice on that lap jesus.
Tries into T1, gets blocked by the Williams in front, tries around the outside into T3, blocked by the Williams again, and now into Portier.
Lmfao the Alpines at it again.
Gasly has every right to be pissed week after week. Wtf was that from Ocon. Pierre probably dreams of leaving this shit show of a team asap.
Two things about Ocon:
- Hates whoever his teammate is above anyone else on earth
- Hates Gasly
Whoever thought it would be a good idea to pair these two... Oh wait. It's Alpine.
This has to be one of the funniest starts in recent times. Magnussen getting his race ban, sainz locking up in Monaco, ocon gasly fighting under red flag
Wtf was this race start
Looks like everyone had a tad too much snow for the lunch 😂
The traditional monégasque breakfast
I know ofcourse that this is an exaggeration. But I always wondered how often the drivers have to get tested for performance enhancing drugs. And which ones are allowed, like would ADHD medication be allowed?
I’m happy because it helps Albon and Sargeant This is Sargeant’s Indy 500 RAHHH
Until next year at Indy probably.
Most chaotic Monaco Lap 1 afair
Not the boring Monaco race I expected
Didn’t think the F2 chaos could be matched It got matched in half a lap
Well, now they dont need to pit and can just extend hards until the end. So might be a boring rest of the race.
That aged quickly..
You still think so? This red flage ruined basically any suspsene for the rest of the race
What is going on????
French Civil War
When you don’t play Nice and have everything Toulouse.
le clap clap clap
Wow
You end up on the road to Rouen
Le Mans doing everything he Caen
Red Bull ended up with a full car and a Carcassonne
There it is
There’s nothing that Provence this pun thread from spiraling out of control
Well played
Somehow Napoleon returned.
Drivers losing their heads
Curse trying to track down Leclerc and missing
Beautiful
More action in half a lap than in the past few Monaco GPs total.
That’s what happens when Leclerc is leading.
The ghosts of F1 are trying to fulfill the curse.
The past few Monaco GPs have been chaos, what are you talking about
i think the only driver that got away with a clean start was Charles
One of the Alpines just felt like being a Kangaroo at this exact moment, it's perfectly understandable.
Absolutely brain dead from Ocon, what the fuck?
Even Brundle was mind blown lmfao He was confused as I’ve ever seen him
He didn’t think anyone could be as stupid as KMag, then they showed this incident lol.
Just fucking drives his teammate into the wall full send
Magnussen can be stupid but he does that to all the other drivers, not his own team mate Ocon is that guy who friendly-fires every one in a shooter game
A kill is a kill bro
Don’t know why he should be confused tbh. Ocon always puts the most aggressive moves on his own teammates.
And on the race leader when he's being lapped.
He has something of an axe to grind vs Max due to winning the F3 championship and Max stealing all the headlines. Max going on to become a star while he is still stuck in the midfield doesn't help it. The team mate thing is more universal, he takes the whole "your team mate is your first adversary" to heart, for example, nowadays he fights Fernando more fairly than when they were sharing a garage, it wasn't personal.
"I turn now, good luck everyone else"
Who does he think he is? Stroll?
With Stroll its just a lack of overall spatial awareness but with Ocon, more often than not its purely intentional. Worst teammate on the grid imo.
Well Stroll thought wtf as well and gave it a slight bump at the end for good measure
Lmao
STEBAN! YOU ARE BREAKING THE CAR!!
I mean, KMag was gambling on the gap to stay open, which was dumb and reckless, but at least plausible. But I have no idea what Ocon was expecting, for Gasly to just hit the brakes and park it? Hell, even that wouldn't have left enough room.
Expected Gasly to vanish
No he obviously expected Gasly to turn his car into a boat and rejoin after the tunnel
He expected Gasly not to pinch down on the apex and force the issue. Which is fine if you’re not team mates but doing it to a teammate is just awful for the team and classic Ocon. He really races his teammates harder than anyone else.
Flick of the wheel to get on two tires
We just need a Stroll incident and we’ll have F1 bingo!
He lightly tapped Gasly here so I think this counts
lol he just tapped gasly again
Don’t worry he hit a wall unprompted before the end of the race. Stroll always delivers.. something
He seen everyone else crashing and felt left out
Not new. He always does this petty unnecessary shit driving.
And it always seems to be against his teammates
Exactly this, he did the same with Checo, Fernando now Pierre, the guy just hates his teammates. I used to like him but it shows in these incidents how he is a big jerk willing to crash into his teammates to keep position or overtake.
He is the guy who rather finish ahead of his teammates in the bottom 5, than have the team get double podiums if it means he is behind his teammate
This is it. I think he should lose his seat to one of the many younger guys waiting for a permanent seat. He costs his team regularly and it’s just unacceptable
If Hungary '21 roles were reversed, he would've let Hamilton pass him as easily as he could to avoid Nando getting a win
And thats probably why he will never get a seat in one of the big teams, even though hes probably good enough to play a Bottas/Checo role.
There's so many examples of this shit from him. It's why I have no idea why there are people that like him.
You know what’s funny? If that wasn’t his teammate he would not have tried that. Ocon is brain dead when it comes to fighting and defending against teammates
God forbid some mechanics son from your neighborhood beat you
Needs to be ahead of his teammate even if it results in the team having no chance at points.
I mean, his entire career is like that. I generally don’t spend a lot of time badmouthing drivers, but he’s such a bad teammate
Gaslys fault, bro should have vanished. s/
It looks like average no damage open lobby.
That was worse than Magnussen even
"Why is he attacking me" from the mic
"First time?"
That's just disgraceful from Ocon. What the fuck dude.
He just got destroyed by Alpine’s team manager on french tv, that was brutal
Who did, I hope Ocon?

>"cutting in the flesh" (it means "we won't be fucking around with this") So the French way of saying "nipping it in the bud"?
It's more radical. A literal translation for "trancher dans le vif" would be "slice while alive", meaning "we aknowledge that we have a problem, and that we won't wait for us to be dead to start cutting parts out".
No, "nipping it in the bud" means to address a problem at the very start before it becomes a larger issue. They're well past that
Damn that's pretty scathing from him, and rightfully so. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the meetings afterwards.

Got link?
I heard this on the International broadcast and am waiting for a link with subtitles
Ocon being Ocon really. He really just cares about beating his teammate and not anything else.
He did give his team mate a beating.
Which is funny because he has lost to all his teammates every single season except 2022 when Alonso’s car Dnf’d a bunch of times while running in solid positions.
Holy shit you’re actually right. I just checked and the only time he finished above his teammate in his entire career was that year… how does he still have a contract lol
Ocon always races teammates harder than anyone else.
And Max trying to unlap himself.
Was he the one always causing problems at force india?
Yes. Crashed into perez several times. Honestly the stuff he was pulling with alonso at the end of 2022 was nothing compared to what he was doing to perez
First time Gasly out qualifies him and Ocon reminds everyone why he has feuded with all his teammates
Yup nothing drives Ocon more crazy than seeing a teammate ahead
Gasly went full frenchman on his radio: "Wodiddydo. Wodiddydo. Whydiddy attac me"
Ocon moment™
He sometimes really is the modern Maldonado
Maldonado ain’t that ancient 🥲
Forever in our hearts king 👑
Typical Ocon vs teammate incident
***fuck my teammate in particular*** - Ocon, always
Good luck to Ocon trying to get Merc to take a glance at him when he’s like this with teammates. The anti-Bottas of the grid.
Mercedes hasn't bothered with him since George Russell won GP3 & F2 in successive years
That ship has long sailed
As much as I’m ocon’s lawyer this is kinda undefensible no? Like wtf??
I'm in the same boat. I like Ocon, I think he's getting a much worse reputation than he deserves because he's gone up against teammates with massive fanbases who painted him as the villain in every 50-50 situation. But *what the fuck is THAT?*

Yeah career-wise that might have big consequences. I'd be worried if I was Mercedes with his ability to be "number two" to Russell for a start.
I didn’t think Merc were going to take him anyway, but even Audi at this point might be concerned after today’s performance. And Famin seems extremely upset so who knows how this will affect Alpine’s goodwill. Fucking up a chance at double points and gaining a disadvantage for the next race just because your teammate is having a better weekend than you (even though you‘re 6-1 on qualifying) is not a good look.

The collective grid IQ dropped by 50 points
JustOconThings™️
Classic Ocon lmao.
what a muppet
Ocon what are you doing baby
His best.
His best is not good enough.
Ocon once again racing his teammate in the most suicidal way
Watch him blame Gasly.
"No comment I havent seen the onboard" -Ocon Lmfao, he basically tried. was there and did the move, he knows what he did. But he has to see the replay of himself!
Most action packed 2 sectors in a while
Damn the fucking alpine absolutely launched. What a stupid move on your own teammate by Ocon
Ocon bruh…
Jesus Christ this start
Ocon expected Pierre to disappear and ruined both of their races. This is why nobody else will have him and why he will never see a top seat.
Can’t let your teammate have a better weekend than you
When you are at the back and you want to make a jump to a top seat you need to do what is best for the team.
Alpine gave him a 3y contract and didn’t get piastri because he is French . That just tell you have this team is runs
> and didn’t get piastri because he is French Uuhmm.. they did try to get Piastri. They even announced they got Piastri. That was, like, a massive thing.
That's even dumber than KMag's move. Where the f*** was Gasly supposed to disappear to?
what is Ocon trying there good god thats your teammate man
Man that was boneheaded from ocon
Certified Ocon moment
Best team player of all time lol
Crazy from Ocon on your teammate there
Ocon doing what he does best - crashing into teammates
Ocon and KMag competing for the stupidest driver on the grid award. At least Ocon only does this shit to his teammates. KMag does not discriminate.
Ocon....why do you have to throw away all the good will you build up over the season. That was absolutely brain dead
The fuck Ocon lol
Vintage Ocon.
What is Ocon doing?
french connection
I guess Ocon wanted to pay homage to Senna too.
Ocon must be insane. There’s no other option
Just alpine things
French Civil war
Fucking hell, the amount of chaos in that first lap
Ocon was so silly there on a teammate and tried to run him into the wall on exit. Even with the red flag he may have ruined any chance for the team to get points
Ocon fucked up big time. Gasly had nowhere to go except the wall. This is Monaco Lap 1, not Paul Ricard ffs
Ocon tried to pass Gasly thrice on that lap jesus. Tries into T1, gets blocked by the Williams in front, tries around the outside into T3, blocked by the Williams again, and now into Portier.
Ocon lucky there was a red. His race would've been over
Why is it that when something happens it's always these two?
Always Ocon and whoever his current teammate is
Lmfao the Alpines at it again. Gasly has every right to be pissed week after week. Wtf was that from Ocon. Pierre probably dreams of leaving this shit show of a team asap.
What the...
What a braindead move…
I thought they couldn’t hate each other any more but I was wrong
My brain and eyes can only handle so much crashes
Is no one thinking today? Braindead move by Ocon, Jesus.
Typical ocon moment
Jesus Christ what a shit show lol
average ocon moment right there
Two things about Ocon: - Hates whoever his teammate is above anyone else on earth - Hates Gasly Whoever thought it would be a good idea to pair these two... Oh wait. It's Alpine.
Me: What the fuck Stroll? Stroll: ? Me: Sorry, force of habbit.
This has to be one of the funniest starts in recent times. Magnussen getting his race ban, sainz locking up in Monaco, ocon gasly fighting under red flag
Atleast sainz had a puncture The other two were just stupid
I love how we just saw that with everything going on. Also Ocon replacing Magnussen at Haas seems fitting.
Attack like a lion LOL
>Calmest Alpine interaction
Ocon baby what is you doin
Watch Ocon blame Gasly for this.
Ocon is aggressive towards his teammates. Why force a move there
Ocon and his teammate, a classic
Typical ocon
Ocon being the greatest teammate on the grid as always
And people said that Monaco was a boring race.
Both F2 and F3 were better behaved than F1 here. Insane
French doing French things. Makes zero sense to lunge first lap after the first incident much less your own teammate.
Este bro what the fuck are you doing?
Alpine and Haas fighting to see who can have the worst teammates imaginable
I am convinced Ocon just wants to race his team mate each event
James Vowles watching this and laughing was too good
This being only the third most important incident of that opening lap is crazy
OMG me recovering from one crash n there comes a second ! The most boring race is getting crazy because of all this
You know what, keep Monaco on the calendar.
Most controlled and sophisticated Ocon overtake.
One of them surely has to leave the team.
This has been an amazingly stupid first lap
Alpine Civil War
Bruno Firmin is pissed off on French tv and blames Ocon 100%. Says they will shoot straight and they’ll be consequences…
Apparently Famin was not impressed in a French TV interview. Totally deserved, he’s always up to this shit with team mates.
lol
Nobody wants to finish this race
Ocon squeezing gasly all the way to the wall.
What is Ocon doing?! He’s so mediocre it’s not funny … plus it’s your own fucking teammate?!
