Christian Horner: Esteban Ocon lucky to get away with just a push

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has defended the post-race actions of Max Verstappen at the Brazilian Grand Prix, after his driver was filmed physically shoving Esteban Ocon following an on-track collision.

Verstappen was leading the race when Ocon attempted to unlap himself on lap 44 and the two drivers made contact at Turn 2. The incident resulted in Verstappen losing the lead of the race to Lewis Hamilton and Ocon was given a ten-second stop-go penalty for causing a collision.
