‘I’m giving 100% but it’s not enough to beat Ocon’ Date published: May 12 2021 Fernando Alonso is impressed with his team-mate Esteban Ocon, saying that while he is giving his maximum, it is “not enough” to beat the Frenchman. The last time Alonso competed in Formula 1, 2018, he won his qualifying head-to-head against his McLaren team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne by 21 to zero. He also out-scored the Belgian racer by 50 points to 12. As such it was thought that even though Alonso hasn’t been on the grid for two seasons, he would quickly get the better of Ocon. That has not been the case.
