He promised a beer to the Alpine team if he was on the podium, and since Esteban Ocon succeeded in doing so, the beer came to Enstone.&quot;This weekend, it's been an awesome one&quot; - Esteban Ocon after P3 finish at Monaco GPEsteban Ocon's P3 finish at the 2023 Monaco GP gave Alpine their first podium since the 2021 Qatar GP, when Fernando Alonso had finished P3. After the race, Ocon expressed delight at the result and stated that the podium finish boosted the team's morale.&quot;There's reason to be optimistic that this is a genuine improvement in pace. The Alpine's been a bit inconsistent but even before its upgrade, there'd been some little glimpses of form. It's sort of snapping at the heels of Mercedes-Ferrari, the tail end of that group there from time-to-time and maybe it can get amongst it, that'd be great to see if could do not. We'll get a proper read on that in Barcelona, a more demanding track,&quot; he opined.Ocon is currently ninth in the Drivers' Championship with 25 points, one spot and 10 points ahead of his teammate, Pierre Gasly.
