The comical F1 record Esteban Ocon set at the Austrian Grand Prix
Ahead of the race at the Re🌸d Bull Ring, the record was set at three - Ocon at the 20🎉23 Bahrain Grand Prix.
In Bahrain, the Alpine driver was penalised for an inaccurate start positi♉on before being giv𒈔en another penalty for failing to serve it properly at a pit stop, while his third penalty was for speeding in the pit lane.
His three offences equalled the record set 𝔉by Pastor Maldonado at the 2015 Hu💖ngarian Grand Prix.
The Frenchman has now broken i𒈔t, with the tally now at fivไe.
Ocon was one of the eight drivers to be handed post-r🔴ace p🅷enalties after Sunday’s race.
He was hit with 30 secondsꩲ worth of tꦗime penalties for track limits from four separate infractions.
During the race itself, Ocon was hit with a penalty for an unsaf🤪e 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 drivers not to piﷺck up a penalty.
