At the Italian Grand Prix,Haas driver Esteban Ocon received a penalty from the stewards. The incident occurred in the middle of the race: while battling for position, the Frenchman attacked Lance Stroll too aggressively, forcing the Aston Martin driver off the track. For this infringement, the stewards handed Ocon a five-second time penalty, which was added to his race result.
In addition to the time penalty, Ocon was also given one penalty point on his super licence. For the French driver, this is his first penalty point in the past 12 months, highlighting his relatively clean driving record this season. Nevertheless, the Haas team expressed dissatisfaction with the stewards’ decision, considering the episode to be a racing incident.
As a result, the penalty affected Ocon’s final classification and became one of the notable moments of the Italian round.
