Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso’s working relationship has been hailed as a “classic teacher-student dynamic” by the CEO of Renault.

When Daniel Ricciardo left the then-Renault team in 2020, Esteban Ocon may not have expected to see a two-time former World Champion take his place but since then he and Fernando Alonso have developed one of the best team-mate relationships on the grid.

Ocon described Alonso as a “legend” and said he was up there with Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna when it came to the sport’s greats, but some suggested the Frenchman may struggle having the personality of Alonso alongside him.
