Was Ocon really the right choice?

I was never opposed to Ocon joining the team as he had many great races and was ahead of gasly most of this season, but the last few races where the alpine was really strong, apart from brazil (where he drove supurb) he was behind gasly and by a lot. When gasly got in Q3, Ocon was out in Q1.

While Ocon hasn’t always beat his teammate, he’s consistently had a better top finish than them. He’s got it in him. It really seems like Alpine tried to freeze him out the at the end anyways. Just look at the difference between how Alpine treated him vs how Mercedes treated Hamilton.

It will be interesting to see how he is as a clearly more experienced driver, we’ve not seen that side of him.
