With Esteban Ocon having taken responsibility for the crash between Alpine team-mates, Pierre Gasly has had his say.
Pierre Gasly said he was “shocked” and “disappointed” when there was contact made between himself and Esteban Ocon on the first lap of the Monaco Grand Prix .
But when Gasly was asked if Ocon tried to get ahead in looking out for his interests, given both drivers come to the ends of their respective contracts this season, he responded to media including PlanetF1.com in Monaco: “I don’t want to answer that. On the incident itself, the two drivers had been jostling for position through the first part of the first lap but came to blows at Portier, with the resultant impact on landing for Ocon putting him out of the race entirely.
“And that, we definitely need to speak because we can’t afford especially in the season like that, to have points , all might be crucial at the end of the year, and just got to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.”after it happened, Ocon hopes to be able to move on at the next race in Canada in a fortnight’s time.
“On the other side, we’re still seeing a car that is damaged, that didn’t finish and potentially could be in the points, and we came a couple of centimetres from having both cars in the wall.
