Imagine getting penalized while serving a penalty for incorrectly serving another penalty...

Fun fact: The last driver who got 3 penalties in a race was Pastor Maldonado at the 2015 Hungarian GP

Ocon is so competitive with his teammates that he's even trying to beat Gasly's penalty points

The fact that Esteban got a penalty for a starting grid problem, then served the penalty incorrectly, and then sped in the next pitstop, which resulted in 2 more penalties, was quite impressive 😂

BWT: Can we get more exposure for our special livery?
Alpine: I gotchu

[opper]

They made a whole video for Esteban's penalties alone💀💀💀

Ocon took 5s each time the director remembered him😄

Thanks Ocon, to show us what penalties exist in Forumla 1 right at the start of the season !

Also it was reported by photographer kym illman his team car (rental car use for transfer) also broke down and was needed to be towed. He had the most worst weekend that day.

I was laughing so hard. This is ridiculous 😂

Despite all the penalties who would have thought that someone was having an even worse day with Lando Norris having to stop every ten laps. Had Alpine not decided to retire he would have still been ahead of Lando.

When Ocon broke every rule possible so the fia had to remind us with a full video explaining the rules 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙆 what a legend .

I laughed so hard when he had to re-serve the penalty and earned another at the same time. I like Ocon but it was so silly.

[swaroopajit]

This has to have been Ocon's worst weekend

[KareemFloat]

as silly as those penalties were, im glad they're being strict about sticking to their own rules without much wiggle room.

[prevenad]

The fact that he replied saying he's been doing this sport for years and he knows how to do stuff makes this much more hilarious

[xtheamazingax]

I know Doctor Robotnik had a quote that fits what Ocon was thinking.

GIVE ME A BIG FAT BREAK!!!”

Ocon's horrendous misery and Alonso's podium on the same day: the former teammates couldn't be more detached.

[Dolek]

And all of his biggest enemies (Verstappen, Perez and Alonso) occupied the podium.
