The Imola Grand Prix is in full swing. The twenty drivers have finished the practice sessions. All in preparation for the start on Sunday. On Friday a remarkable incident happened between Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez.
First of all there were communication problems during the free practice. Because of this the teams could not talk to the drivers on track. This also seems to be the cause of the crash between Ocon and Perez.

Slower speed

Perez was busy with his fast lap. Ocon on the other hand was busy with his lap from the pit and thus drove a lot slower than Perez. Because of the lack of clarity both men hit each other.
