In other news further down the standings; Pierre Gasly was left disappointed but not surprised by Esteban Ocon's move on track yesterday. They were fighting for position, but Gasly says his karting rival performed his usual move as he was forced off the track.
Gasly claims "it's always the same thing" with the Force India driver. The stewards deemed the incident at turn 4 fair, but the Toro Rosso driver disagrees.
"With Ocon, it's always the same thing. I've known him for a long time, there are a lot of chances that things happen," Gasly said in an interview on Crash.
“I think he wasn’t very happy that I had started last and managed to overtake him, so he pushed me wide and I had to go off track. I could have forced my way in Turn 5 and we would have had contact, but it wasn’t worth it, as I could have another go after that.
“For me, it wasn’t fair, because you leave the space for one car, but if they say you can race aggressively, I don’t mind."

The future Red Bull driver has just two races left inside the Toro Rosso cockpit. He picked up just the single point yesterday which wasn't enough to battle against Sauber's eight points. This tally was enough to lift Sauber above Toro Rosso.
