2018 Monaco GP

I`m saying nothing Wink

Force India has denied that Esteban Ocon was asked to let Lewis Hamilton by during the Monaco Grand Prix as a favour to Mercedes, after rival teams complained to the FIA.
Hamilton dropped behind Ocon after his early pit stop in Monaco, and when he caught up the Frenchman offered no resistance, the Force India driver letting him past coming out of the tunnel and heading into the chicane.
After the race Mercedes boss Toto Wolff reportedly suggested to a Belgian newspaper that he’d asked Force India for Ocon – a Mercedes junior driver – to let Hamilton by.
Subsequently it has emerged that a number of teams contacted the FIA, suggesting that there had been collusion between Mercedes and its customer team.
Following an investigation into the circumstances of the matter, however, the governing body decided that there was no merit in pursuing it further.

"Ocon conspiracy theories rubbished amid team complaints"    Tongue

Just to be clear, I don't think Ocon did his career any harm, by...……... being so fantastically over taken (Hehe) by the Mercedes cars.    Idea
