'Everybody Was Scared Of Jos And Max': Ocon Looks Back On 'Fiery' Go-Karting Rivalry

"It was those [karting] years, when we were with my dad, against him and his dad. [Max's] dad had the experience because he raced in go-karts so they had a little bit of an advantage on that side."

"But my dad and his dad, at the time, they were doing a little bit of a similar thing, so really hats off to them as well for what they've done."

"It was, to be fair – it was very fiery. Everybody was a little bit scared of Jos and Max at the time, because Jos was driving F1 before, so he's [known] for how fierce and how scary he can be, talking to other young kids and all that on go-kart tracks."

"My dad and myself, we were never scared, because we just wanted to race, we wanted to race hard. We raced hard, we raced really hard, and at times we crossed lines at certain go-kart races."
