During the first free practice for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen and Esteban Ocon collided on the track. It's certainly not the first time, but the drivers managed to avoid a collision.

Moment between Verstappen and Ocon

In the video, it looks like Ocon is trying to pull over at the last moment to give Verstappen room for his fast lap, but the Dutchman locks up and both drivers go off track. They can only just avoid a collision.

The incident forces the Dutchman to abandon his fast lap. Verstappen seems to be frustrated with Ocon's action.
