Sergio Perez: Esteban Ocon needs to understand what racing means

Sergio Perez believes Force India teammate Esteban Ocon needs to "understand what racing means" following their collision at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

As Ocon tried a move on his teammate directly after a Safety Car period in Azerbaijan, the pair came together on the exit of Turn 2, with both drivers suffering damage. Perez was forced into an immediate retirement, while Ocon recovered to finish sixth. The Mexican had previously slammed his teammate following the race in Baku, claiming Ocon had cost Force India a potential win.

"I think simply, Esteban needs to understand what racing means," Perez said ahead of this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix.
