Christian Horner demands F1 probe as driver almost runs down people in Azerbaijan pit lane

Esteban Ocon waited until the last lap of the race to come in for his mandatory stop as Alpine took a strategy gamble. It did not pay off, as the race itself was devoid of incidents and so the safety car period they needed to make a cheap stop never came.
