He could perform very well if he joined a competitive car - Esteban Ocon on why he wants Mick Schumacher to join Alpine in 2023 F1 season

Another reason the Frenchman believes the German driver should be part of his team in 2023 is his close rapport with the driver. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the 2022 Dutch GP, Ocon stated his reasons for wanting Mick Schumacher as a teammate, saying: “Mick, I think you know, is a good friend of mine, first of all, so if I can help on that, that's no problem but I think he has shown talents in the junior categories as well. He's been very fast, you know. Sometimes in Formula 1 it's not easy to perform with a car that's a bit on the back foot. I've had that when I started in F1 and I'm sure you know he's a great guy, and he could perform very well, if he joined a competitive car and at the moment the Alpine is competitive. So, you know, that's just my words, you know there's going to be nothing taken with the team. I don't have the decision to take, but the team knows that this will be my preference.” Motorsport.com@MotorsportThe juiciest gossip happening right here ?
