The comical F1 record Esteban Ocon set at the Austrian Grand Prix
Ahead of the rac🀅e at the Red Bull Ring, the record was set at three - Ocon at the 2023 Bahrain🍨 Grand Prix.
In Bahrain, the Alpine driver was penalised for an inaccurate start position before being given another penalty for failing to serve 🃏it proper﷽ly at a pit stop, while his third penalty was for speeding in the pit lane.
His three offences equalled the record set bღy Pastor Maldonado at the 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix.
The Frenchman has now💎 broken it, with the ta🌞lly now at five.
Ocon was one of the eight drivers to be handed post-race penalties after Su♔nda🎐y’s race.
He was 🔯hit with 30 seconds worth of time penalties for tr𒈔ack limits from four separate infractions.
During the race itself, Ocon was hit with a penalty for an ♔unsafe release.
More amusingly, Ocon and his race engineer were pleased after the race 🐟when chatting over team radio that they were one of the few drive🐭rs not to pick up a penalty.
