Just watched the race highlights on Youtube. WTF was Ocon doing?

Judging by the expression on Ocon's face, looks like he was being a bit of a cheeky campaigner here. He was clearly in the wrong, as the 20 sec stop-go penalty proves, so not sure that's the tack he should takefairly certain this is the twitter msg above which disappeared.
As long as his father and Helmet are managing his career, his attitude is only going to get worse I reckon. Vettel had a little bit of this early on in his career, and whilst he still has campaigner moments he certainly has matured a fair bit at Ferrari.One thing is evident - Max doesnt have many friends in the paddock.
None of those first 3 were anywhere near this bad.I thought Senna, Schumi and Seb were bad. Max will eclipse all of them in the dickhead stakes.
Reminds me of Jos ironing out Montoya trying to unlap himself
Ocon was clearly more in the wrong in that situation, but as Lews was telling Max after the race, he need's to avoid putting himself in those situations in the first place. If Ocon wants to be a campaigner and dive down in Turn 1 to un-lap himself, then let him do it and focus on winning the race.
One doesn't necessarily mean the other.If he's allowed to unlap himself, then he had every right to be in the spot he was.
Ocon should have been more careful and wears almost all of the blame but I had a good laugh.
Max never gives anyone any room and doesn't always protect legally. If he wasn't the next big thing he'd be penalised more often for it.
It helps him more often than not as everyone is super cautious around him but noone else in the top 6 would have had this collision with Ocon.
In this instance Max assumed because he was race leader everyone should worship the ground he drove on and just let him do his thing.
The Honda engine being s**t for a year or two would be the best thing for his attitude to be honest. If he grows up a bit and fulfills his potential he would make a likable world champion compared to Lewis or Sebastian.Nailed it.
Can't stand Hamilton, but he was bang on with the advice he gave to Max in the post-race room.
He'll never be WDC if he doesn't iron out these moments of his.
Everyone goes on about how much of a talent he is, and he is, but let's not forget the past two seasons in the first half of both years he has been a glorified Maldonado, and then come good late in the year. That's not how you'll ever win a WDC.
Having said that, a terrible Honda in the back of his Red Bull will dictate his championship prospects far more than his temperament.
Surely you jest, they are all peanuts but max is worse then the other 2 combined.

Max is still an immature kid, most of us act like a *******s at various times around that age. Like I said, if he grows out of it I think he will be ok compared to “praise the lord, my best mate is Bieber” Hamilton or Vettel who has never really lost the attitude Max has now when the chips are down.Surely you jest, they are all peanuts but max is worse then the other 2 combined.
