FIA accused of 'favouritism' towards Lewis Hamilton after Monaco GP collision

A Formula 1 racer accused the FIA of "favouritism" after he was slapped with a penalty for making contact with Lewis Hamilton.

Esteban Ocon was punished by race stewards at the Monaco Grand Prix for an incident which also involved the seven-time world champion. It came at a point during the race at which the track was in transition, drying out after earlier rain and causing some drivers to change tyres.

The Frenchman was still running with full wets on his Alpine when he was targeted by Hamilton for an overtake. The Mercedes man, who had pitted for intermediates, tried to go down the inside at Sainte Devote but had the door slammed closed. The pair made contact, but both were able to carry on unscathed.
