Alpine is putting all options on the table, including a potential change to its Formula 1 driver line-up, to ensure there is no further trouble between its team-mates.
The French manufacturer nearly had both its cars out of the Monaco Grand Prix early on after Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly collided on the exit of Portier on the opening lap of the original start. Ocon had made an optimistic lunge down the inside of Gasly on the entry to the corner and, as they exited, they clashed wheels. The incident pitched Ocon into the air and badly damaged his car as it crashed back down, putting him out of the race.
com understands that Famin is fuming about what happened, and thinks that this latest collision is the final straw to a situation that has been bubbling away all season. The team has been mindful since Bahrain that its competitive situation means it cannot let slip any opportunities to score points, so it has been instructing its drivers to take extra care when racing each other.
