French dreaming on Canal +
This Sunday at 2:10 p.m., the encrypted channel is broadcasting “Made in Normandy”, the first episode of a documentary series devoted to the Alpine team and the two French pilots.
” It’s a bit like the France team against the rest of the world,” likes to summarize Esteban Ocon, Formula 1 driver joined for this championship by Pierre Gasly. Twenty-nine years after the last French tandem formed by Olivier Panis and Eric Bernard, the two Normans will drive for a stable with the tricolor flag.

From karting to Alpine, Canal + tells in a documentary series this story which has nothing to envy to an American dream. Immersed in the heart of the team, Blue, White, Fast will show the behind the scenes of this sporting, technical and human challenge in four stages.
The first episode “Made in Normandy”, broadcast on March 5 before the 1er Grand Prix of 2023, presents these two kids from the north of France who managed to find themselves, against all odds, among the 20 best drivers in the world. Étienne Pidoux and Amandine Morhaïm’s cameras have been following Ocon and Gasly since last November until the final winter tests in Bahrain last February.
The duo’s confidence in the directors allows the viewer to have a privileged place in these hectic backstage scenes. Just enough to revive our chauvinism.
