Alpine is "next in line" to challenge the top teams in Formula 1 for silverware, Esteban Ocon has asserted.
The Frenchman's team enjoyed a successful 2022 season overall. They prevailed in their battle with rivals McLaren for fourth place in the constructors' championship, even despite some reliability issues and growing tensions between Ocon and the veteran Fernando Alonso.
The Spaniard has now left for Aston Martin and will be replace at Alpine next year by Pierre Gasly. And the new man has promised that the childhood feud between the two French racers has been put to bed ahead of working together in 2023.
