MONTREAL (AP) Force India drivers Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez fought as much with each other as the other drivers in Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix.
The two pink Mercedes were running nose-to-tail when Perez was told to let Ocon pass because he had fresher tires and a better chance to catch Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo. Perez responded: ”Let us race, man. Please.”
Perez said afterward that he was waiting for Ricciardo to make a mistake, and it never happened.
Although Sebastien Vettel passed them both, Perez held on to finish fifth – just ahead of his teammate.
