Esteban Ocon is preceded by his reputation. If he has often shone since his debut in Formula 1, as evidenced in particular by his magnificent second place during the Brazilian Grand Prix this season, the Frenchman is also known for regularly competing on the track with his teammates. He had clashes with Sergio Perez when he was at Force India, with Fernando Alonso at Alpine and last season with Pierre Gasly, notably at Monaco. While he is going to change teams to join Haas, Ocon has been warned by his team director.
Komatsu wants to avoid any incident
Ayao Komatsu told Motorsport that he expects his driver to be impeccable: “The rules of engagement must be crystal clear. From day one. They will therefore be clarified before the first race. I don't expect there to be any contact between teammates, nor that there will be any withdrawals because of that. But it's a good thing, they have to race each other. » Olivier Bearman and Esteban Ocon are warned.
