Max Verstappen's masterclass ruined by Esteban Ocon's moment of madness

SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Until Lap 44, the story of the Brazilian Grand Prix was Max Verstappen's flawless drive. Then everything changed and Verstappen was punted off the track by the lapped Force India of Esteban Ocon.

Here are the main talking points from another thrilling race from the 2018 season.

Shock: Seeing Mercedes struggle so badly to manage its tyres again. How different would 2018 be right now if Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel hadn't scored such spectacular own goals throughout the season?

Shocker: Ocon is a fine race talent but his collision with Verstappen was bafflingly stupid.
