It is known to the motorsport community that Ocon and Gasly haven’t got the smoothest relationship, with Ocon recently receiving a 5 place grid penalty that he will be completing this weekend in Canada for a collision between his teammates in Monaco. The pair have been racing against each other since the age of 6 with tensions starting back with karting.  Now this rivalry has become the topic of Drive to survive season 6 episode 5 'Civil War'.
