Alpine F1 and its driver Esteban Ocon put on a Galactic performance in the Brazilian Grand Prix last week. The French driver made it to the podium in one of the impossible driving conditions alongside his teammate Pierre Gasly. The Two Alpine drivers outpaced McLaren and Mercedes and successfully clinched their podium. Only Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was able to pass the two French rockets in the wet Interlagos circuit. The celebration is not over it seems for Esteban Ocon.

He made a lovely surprise visit to his girlfriend's home in France and was celebrating his Brazil podium win in a romantic way. He posted his surprise visit to his girlfriend's home via Twitter and many find them cute. The one-time Formula 1 Grand Prix winner seemed to have brought some chocolates, cookies and drinks with him to enjoy his win with his love.

Esteban Ocon was the only driver who was able to lead the race in a heavy water-filled track. He went leading after Lando Norris and George Russell pitted at the wrong time during the race. He not only helped Alpine win a podium, but with his help, the French team will now get an additional 50 million dollars after this season.

Before the race, the Alpine F1 team was behind Williams and was trailing by one point. But with a double podium surprise, the Alpine team is now leading Haas, RB team and Williams all together. Alpine has also announced that they won't be using their own Renault engines from the 2026 season. 

Next year will be the last season the French team will be using their own engines. The Renault engine has won many world championships for many teams. However, due to high competition, it does not have much power compared with Mercedes, Honda and Ferrari. So Renault decided to end their Viry engine facility in 2025. They will be having a partnership with Mercedes and will become a customer team from the 2026 season which will also be having new engine regulations.
