"I do believe some drivers can compete and even win a championship against Max, but Ocon is not one of those drivers that I think would be able to beat him. The only drivers who I can see beating Max would be Lando, George, Lewis, Fernando, and Charles," the fan tweeted.Mohammed@M0H0_01@RBR_Daily I do believe some drivers can compete and even win a championship against Max, but Ocon is not one of those drivers that I think would be able to beat him.

Szafnauer explained that the wing was tested and researched upon to understand why it was moving in the first place. He said that Alpine was confident that the wing would not detatch from the car during the race. As per Motorsport-Total, the Alpine team boss said:"The wing held. We designed and built this wing, so we knew what was going on. And we were glad it wouldn't come loose. We test this in research and development. We put it through these tests simply because of the way it's mounted and we're therefore seeing these types of modes and understanding whether or not it's going to come loose."Formula 1@F1The last-lap dash to the finish line Esteban JUST managed to hold a charging Lando off! #CanadianGP #F1 @McLarenF1 @AlpineF1Team2637118The last-lap dash to the finish line 🏃🏁Esteban JUST managed to hold a charging Lando off! 😅#CanadianGP #F1 @McLarenF1 @AlpineF1Team https://t.co/BXfu2Hc4qoHe added:"The FIA came up to us and said it looks like your rear wing is moving and we looked at that and talked about it.
