Ocon explains why he didn’t follow ‘hold position’ F1 team order
French driver Esteban Ocon had an impressive race in Las Vegas, starting in 16th place but finishing fourth. However, there was some controversy when he overtook his teammate Pierre Gasly despite being told to hold position. Ocon explained that he didn’t hear the full message on the radio and thought he was allowed to make the move. If the team had asked him to give back the position, he would have done so immediately. Ocon’s emotions after the race were in stark contrast to his disappointment in qualifying, and he was thrilled with the team’s performance. Gasly, on the other hand, had a frustrating race due to graining on the hard tire, which impacted his performance and dropped him to 11th place.
