SPIELBERG, Austria -- Despite still upset at receiving a penalty he labelled "nonsense'', Romain Grosjean still sent a contrite message to Esteban Ocon for their clash at the French Grand Prix.
Grosjean and Ocon's cars touched on the run down to Turn 1 in the opening seconds of their home race. During his Thursday media session, Grosjean immediately pulled out his phone to show his onboard footage of him driving in a straight line on the very edge of the circuit when the clash occurred.
Several days have passed since the incident but Grosjean still feels aggrieved about the fact the stewards gave him a five-second penalty, which he had to serve at his pit stop.
