Grosjean cheered by Ocon's criticism

The French GP will not have really strengthened the understanding between the national stars Romain Grosjean et Esteban Ocon. The Force India driver retired from the start of the race following contact with Pierre Gasly (Toro Rosso), But he mainly focused on his other compatriot Romain Grosjean with whom he had previous contact initially.

While he wondered about the reasons for his five-second penalty suffered following this collision in an interview on Canal+, Romain Grosjean did not appreciate learning that his compatriot had criticized him for this maneuver.

“He looks to the right, there is Leclerc. Where I am going ? Let him learn before he speaks”, the pilot got carried away Haas in the interview area.

“It’s poorly paid…, had previously summarized Romain Grosjean. I was also pushed off the track quite a bit, especially when I overtook Charles. There would have been contact if I had not opened my trajectory. We subsequently suffered with a lot of damage to the car after the start where the flat bottom was damaged on the left side. I am proud at least to have given my best. We lacked too much aero at the start of the race even though I was able to do a lot of overtaking at the end of the race with the super soft tires, but we were too far away. »

Romain Grosjean remains the only driver alongside Sergey Sirotkin not to have scored points this season.
