Norman came at a better pace, but as Ferrari demonstrated several times last year, it is sometimes necessary to listen to the whole thinking of the team, not just the individual. Something Stephen denied.

Do it now. in the back…said his engineer, when he was suddenly interrupted by a shout on the other end of the radio.I can not do it!“Ocon exclaimed on the radio, he refused to do so because he knew he would defeat Fernando if punished.
