Gasly: RIvalry with Ocon is not good for us

Pierre Gasly has insisted his long-feud with Esteban Ocon "is not good for either of us", following their latest clash in Mexico.

Gasly was left furious with Ocon after he believes he had not left him enough space when trying to overtake in the final stages of the race in Mexico two weeks ago, but the stewards believed there was nothing wrong with the Force India man's driving.

The Toro Rosso driver eventually managed to pass Ocon to secure 10th place in Mexico City, but the incident was the latest in their feud - that strecthes back to their go-karting days.

Gasly, in the immediate aftermath of the race, claimed that it's "always the same thing" with Ocon, but now he believes that their rivalry is not doing either of them any good.

"I think at the moment, it's not good for either of us," Gasly told Crash.net. "(In Mexico), we lost 2.5 seconds, which cost me also a flatspot, and in the end, he could have maybe finished P10 and I could have finished P9.

"You need to be objective, but I don't think it's really good. But I don't want to waste energy with that in the end. I try to focus on my race and try to make it clean. I think this was slightly over the limit. But I finished in front of him, so that's OK."
