Esteban Ocon blames “idiot” Fernando Alonso as shunt halts sprint qualifying at F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix

The former Alpine teammates got together at Turn 3 when Ocon, on a fast lap, lost c🦂ontroꦡl of his car coming out of the Senna Esses and tagged Alonso, who was dawdling on a slow lap.
Alonso did not seem to see Ocon coming and appeared to move back towards the 𒊎racing line at the same mo🍨ment the Frenchman got out of shape after running over the kerbs.
Ocon oversteered into Alonso’s Aston Martin and was sent spinn⛄ing off into the Turn 3 barriers at high-speed.
Alonso made it back to the pit🔯s but picked up a front left puncture.
The incident, which has been noted ꧟by the ste♕wards, caused SQ1 to be red-flagged due to the barriers needing repairs.
Ocon branded Alonso an “idiot” over team radio as he squarelﷺy put the blame on the two-time world champion.
Ocon has been eliminated in 16th, while Alonso got through to SQ2 bu🀅t was unable to 💙participate due to the damage on his Aston Martin.
“Unfortunately we could not complete the qualifying," the Spaniard said. “It’s a shame b🍃oth cars out of qualifying now and a 🌌lot of damage on both cars I guess. Not what we wanted.
“I haven’t seen the replay yet. Someone told me he lost 💮the car a little bit but one of those situations - wrong pl𝄹ace, wrong moment.”
