Red Bull's Helmut Marko gives his verdict on the clash between Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly in Monaco.
Ocon made tyre-to-tyre contact with Gasly and was sent airborne when he attempted an audacious lunge on his Alpine teammate down the inside at Portier on the opening lap of Sunday’s race.
Ocon has endured a trouble past with Gasly and it is not the first time that he has had a spiky relationship with a teammate, having also clashed with Sergio Perez at Force India/Racing Point and Fernando Alonso at Alpine. “In both cases, we summoned both drivers to the company and discussed it openly with them, making it clear to them that such collisions with team-mates are simply not acceptable.
“The problem with Alpine, however, is that it wasn’t the first time, and I think that adds to the difficulty.”
