Esteban Ocon has received a five-second penalty for the incident with Lewis Hamilton in the pit lane. The two drivers collided after a chaotic moment during the pit stops.

After eighteen laps, many drivers entered the pit lane at once to change from the intermediates to the medium tires. Ocon managed to push just in front of Hamilton's Mercedes, but it was not without a touch.
