Top 5 controversies of the 2018 F1 season

Max vs Ocon at Brazil

F1 Grand Prix of Brazil

F1 drivers are admired for their speed and all that incredible talent. But from the point of view of their teams, they are also advised to keep cool and use their energies better in a manner that helps them shape their race efforts better.

But one's not sure if that applied typically to Max Verstappen at the 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix.

To this day, it may not be entirely fair or accurate to suggest as to who exactly was at fault at Interlagos where one saw the Racing Point Force India of Esteban Ocon and Red Bull of Verstappen collide.

But what one does know, is that the collision that occurred between Ocon, then a backmarker and Verstappen, the race-leader, effectively ended Max' chances of securing what would've been an incredible win. And having said that, it also doesn't hold a great picture to reflect on what was clearly, 2018's most heated moment: the aftermath of the young drivers coming together on the track.

Max, clearly upset at having missed out on a win, wasn't going to cool down at the conclusion of the race. He'd be seen making his way to meet Ocon, who'd finished well outside the points and had already served a penalty for faulty driving. But it was the spectacle of the heated argument at the conclusion of the race and the fact that Max was seen pushing Ocon around that would lace the incident with controversy.
