Two-time F♏1 champion Fernando Alonso remains alongside E🌊steban Ocon for 2022.

The duo was eve🎃nly matched throughout 2021 with Alonso ultimately coming out on top.

However, it was Ocon who scored big as he claimed the Enstone-based outfit’s first F1 victory since 2013 at th♔e Hungarian Grand Prix.

Alonso played his part in that win as he managed to hold up a fast-charging Lꦏewis Hamilton for a number of laps.

The Spaniard returned to the podium for the first time si🙈nce 2014 in the final part of the season with P3 in Qatar.

It’s been a busy off-season for Alpಞine with Alain Prost le✅aving the team, while Otmar Szafnauer has been heavily-linked after leaving Aston Martin.
