Max Verstappen and Esteban Ocon were involved in an ugly on track incident during the race, with Ocon, who was being lapped by race leader Verstappen did not quite back off and the duo were involved in a collision, one that cost Max the race win.

Max Verstappen was furious after the incident, venting his frustration out on the team radio and even showing the finger to Ocon.

In the post race radio message Verstappen said that he did not want to see him in the paddock, but that is not quite what happened, as Ocon and Verstappen were involved in an ugly tussle post the race, as the duo had an ugly altercation.

Max went to Ocon and pushed him a little, something that took the Force India driver by surprise.

Ocon then retaliated a little by pushing Max back, but was still surprised by how Max was reacting.

Max then pushed him a few times more before just walking away.

Check out the video:

While Max was walking off, Ocon did follow him to explain something or exchange a few words, but max once again pushed him away with disdain and then just walked off.

The video has surfaced on social media and Max could find himself in some trouble for this.

Ocon had been given a 10 second stop penalty, but Max could be in more trouble for physically assaulting a fellow driver.
