ESTEBAN OCON denied “physical violence” after being dropped by Haas for the Mexico City Grand Prix. The French driver, 30, was reportedly involved in an altercation with Haas team boss Ayao Komatsu before being dropped for this weekend’s race . Ocon was already set to leave the team at the end of the season with his departure from the American-based squad already confirmed. But he was axed from the side without explanation on Saturday and replaced by Ryo Hirakawa, with Haas only confirming the one-time Grand Prix winner was not ill.
