After colliding with his team-mate on the first lap, Esteban Ocon has taken to social media to address the crash.

Esteban Ocon has apologised for his part in the collision he had with Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly on the opening lap of the Monaco Grand Prix .

While Gasly was able to get going again at the restart, however, Ocon was not – and brought home a point after crossing the line tenth on Sunday.“It’s exactly what we didn’t want to see. Esteban’s attack was totally out of circumstances. “If we were fighting for a podium finish at the end of the race, why not, and still… But there, on the first lap, at Le Portier, frankly, it wasn’t the place to make an attack, leaving zero room for his teammate.”In a post on social media which went out while the race was still taking place, Ocon wrote: “Today’s incident was my fault, the gap was too small in the end and I apologise to the team on this one. Hoping for a deserved points-finish for the team today.
