Esteban Ocon was able to win his first ever and his only grand prix Hungary. The Frenchman was not able to do it without the help of ever supportive team mate Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso was third with Lewis Hamilton shadowing him and showing serious pace. Fernando Alonso was able to fend off this charge from Lewis Hamilton by showing his top notch defensive side to the game.

This helped Esteban Ocon as he himself was able to fight off the attacks from Sebastian Vettel and gave an extra layer of protection against Lewis Hamilton. He was all praises for his team mate following that.
