Esteban Ocon has defended his controversial overtake on Alexander Albon in the Dutch Grand Prix and criticised the Formula 1 rule that meant he was pegged back for the second start.
As Max Verstappen crashed out and Gabriel Bortoleto endured a 360-degree spin on lap one at a slightly damp Zandvoort track, an opportunistic Ocon re-accelerated faster than Albon at the end of the yellow-flag zone to grab 13th place – which the Anglo-Thai driver disapproved of – shortly after crossing the start/finish line.
