    It's a time penalty once you have had the black and white flag it's a slam dunk penalty of five seconds.

    This will really frustrate Max because he can't go for that fastest lap point and not risk track limits.

    The Red Bull man is 18 seconds ahead of Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes, so a time penalty wouldn't be a disaster for Max Verstappen. Still, he questions on the team radio why he has been given the black and white flag in the first place.

    There was some bad blood between Alonso and Ocon when they were team-mates last year. Alonso got very upset about Ocon for over-zealous defence. He will not have been impressed by that.

    The crowd absolutely loved that bit of extra spice as Fernando Alonso ran wide on track to avoid the Alpine of Ocon and a nasty ending to his Spanish Grand Prix.
