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

The former Alpi❀ne teammates g🅠ot together at Turn 3 when Ocon, on a fast lap, lost control 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 racing line at the same moment the Frenchmꦺan got out of shape after running over the kerbs.
Ocon oversteered into Alonso’s Aston M🌞artin and was sent spinning off into the Turn 3 barriers at high-spe❀ed.
Alonso made it back to the pits butꦚ picked up a front left puncture.
The incident, which has been noted by the 🦩stewards🦂, caused SQ1 to be red-flagged due to the barriers needing repairs.
Ocon branded Alonso an “idi🥀ot” over 🥀team radio as he squarely put the blame on the two-time world champion.
Ocon has been elim🌳inated in 16th, while Alonso got through to SQ2 but was unable to participate due to the damage on his Aston Martin.&nb🐼sp;
“Unfortunately we could not complete the💙 qual💧ifying," the Spaniard said. “It’s a shame both 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 situatio🔯ns - wrong place, wrong moment.”&nbღsp;
