VIDEO: Verstappen passes Ocon in thrilling battle!
The feud between Max Verstappen and Esteban Ocon looks like it is here to stay, but in Abu Dhabi we were treated to a thrilling battle of pure racing as the drivers fought for position on lap six of the race.
There has been no love lost between the pair after their coming together in Brazil left Verstappen fuming at the actions of Ocon, and the Dutchman channelled his energy into making a superb pass in Abu Dhabi, after half a lap of jostling.
You can watch the drama below.
