Hello and

welcome to the WTO podcast with myself Hayden Dulles and The Incredibles and the

and the Jones. We're gonna be talking everything for the one that has happened

over the last week and there has been big news

that has dropped literally about 30 minutes before we sat down to film this podcast.

Amber Esther Ban Ocon will no longer be an Alpine driver at the end of 2024.

They said they were going to have consequences for the crash that happened in Monaco

and those seem to have happened. First of all, what are your thoughts? So when they said

consequences I was like right a team is not going to come forward and make that

If it was a different driver that's always got like a stigma around the more some sort of drama, like fair enough. But I do think it's quite harsh but it opens up this

question of who are they going to bring in now? Yeah I mean there's always been

that worry of toxicity between the two drivers they have their falling out years ago and everyone

thought okay how's it's going to work out with both them in the same team are they

going to be able to get along and they've had their incidents here and there but

I feel like Ocon's always had a history of not

massive shunt with teammates but never really backing down he's had it with

Perez he had it with Alonso didnze. He had it with Alonzo.

He didn't really crash with Alonzo. But I remember Saudi Arabia, those two were going
