So the race leader should hold back and deviate from the ideal driving line, loosing precious seconds on P1 to the world champion to someone who had ample chance to even score 1 point in this GP?!?
Ocon's attempt to overtake was poorly chosen. Yes he had a faster car with fresh tyres but like I said he had a huge gap when turning onto the straight. If he wanted to overtake there, he should have taken care of that gap in the 2 corners before the straight so he would have been directly behind him and could have fully passed him on the straight.

Who had way more to lose in that spot? Obviously Verstappen, he should’ve just let him go when he lost site of him. Besides, where did he think we went, off track?
