Verstappen on Ocon: "I don't know what his problem is"

Max Verstappen has downplayed the confrontation he had with Esteban Ocon after the Brazilian Grand Prix, with the Dutchman claiming that nothing happened between the two.

This is questionable, as footage emerged of Verstappen shoving Ocon multiple times when confronting the Frenchman in the paddock.

With Ocon claiming that Verstappen "wanted to punch" him, Verstappen has come out to deny that he had any bad intentions.

"I went to him to ask, and he just gave me a stupid response from his side," Verstappen said at the press conference post-race when asked about what happened when he pushed Ocon.

Commenting on the collision itself, Verstappen did understand what Ocon was trying to do, but he doesn't understand why he did it at that moment.

"It was stupid, stupid risk. Of course you are allowed to unlap yourself, but I mean it’s really weird how that happened," Verstappen explained.
