Esteban Ocon has been handed a five-place grid penalty for causing a collision with teammate Pierre Gasly at the Monaco Grand Prix. The incident occurred when Ocon attempted to overtake Gasly at Portier but collided, damaging both cars. Ocon was deemed wholly responsible for the crash by the stewards. Team principal Bruno Famin also blamed Ocon for the incident. Ocon accepted fault on social media, acknowledging that the gap was too small for the overtake. The stewards did not investigate a separate first-lap crash involving Kevin Magnussen and Sergio Perez.
