Personally, I'm expecting Ocon to be trashed by Alonso. More so than now against Ricciardo, because I see Alonso as an extremely adaptable and versatile driver. Like Hamilton and Verstappen, I think he'll be able to handle a car that is inherently difficult or unstable. If the car is planted and predictable, then of course the differences might be smaller.
That's just my hunch though. I have no idea how Alonso will be after being 2 years away from F1. Somehow, I don't think it will matter much, that's how highly I rate Alonso.
It didn't seem to hurt Kimi when he left for 2 years...
Apart from lots of online shouting from his loyal fans, he hasn’t had the opportunity to show what he can really do in this hybrid era, so let’s wait and see. He’s been out F1 now for two years and before that, fighting midfielders at best for another four. The car he’s going to drive had one podium with a Renault engine since the turbo’s came back.
My guess is that he will be needing 21 to get up to full speed again, but with his ruthlessness, Ocon will be a victim of his demand for focus of the team.
