There were chaotic scenes during Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
A group of photographers had to leap out the way after entering the pit lane as Alpine driver Esteban Ocon stopped for new tyres.
Sky Sports commentator said: “Is Esteban Ocon coming into the pits? I can’t actually see. Here he comes. Yes, he is.”
There was then fear as Ocon drove towards the photographers.
The co-commentator said: “Oh, what is this about? This is a shambles, absolute shambles. What is going on down there?”
The commentator added: “That is a total and utter shambles of organisation – and someone should have known.”
