After a mild bump near the start of the Belgian GP, on Lap 30, Perez squeezed Ocon into the Endurance Pit wall on the run down to Eau Rouge. This resulted in a broken front wing for Ocon, and a right-rear puncture for Perez, as they entered Eau Rouge/Raidillon. Perez then flaunted the accepted convention of parking up a car in the state his was at the soonest, best location to do so. Instead, he drove it on three tires the remaining almost four miles back to the pits.
This is at least the third incident between the two this season, going back to Baku, and Montreal before that. Force India is in something of an "emergency crackdown mode" with their drivers after this latest mess.
