Tensions have seemingly thawed in the Force India garage. Last year, the thorny relationship between Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon spilled over following some clashes, and the team banned wheel-to-wheel racing between the pair.
But sporting boss Otmar Szafnauer is quoted by France's L'Equipe as saying that ban is now over: "We will start the season as we finished the last," he said. "As with every team, we've been through a period of conflict but it's a thing of the past."
Frenchman Ocon confirmed: "We had a difficult time, but our relations and the atmosphere is fine now. I want to beat him of course," he added. "I have more experience now and it should be a close fight, but that's what I want.
We have the right to fight against each other, but the policy is the same: no contact. That's normal. We do not want to lose points that way."
