Pierre Gasly is no longer the only one in the hearts of the French.
Esteban Ocon is also capable of winning a Grand Prix.
The 24-year-old driver, who has been racing for Alpine this year, won the Hungarian Grand Prix after an incredible race full of twists and turns.
He is ahead of the indestructible Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton, who came back from nowhere.
Alonso is 5th and Max Verstappen finishes far.
WE DID IT !!!!

Esteban WINS the #HungarianGP!

Alpine is also running a historic race as Fernando Alonso, who has long resisted the British world champion, takes 5th position.
This is of course the best result of the season for the Franco-British firm, ex-Renault.
Last year, Pierre Gasly, by winning the Italian Grand Prix, erased Olivier Panis from the shelves as the last French driver to win in Formula 1. In 1996, the latter had won on a Ligier.
It is therefore the first time in 25 years that a French has won over a French car.
Historical.
