Komatsu and Ocon call rift rumours "bulls***"

Before the weekend, rumours emerged online that Haas boss Ayao Komatsu and driver Esteban Ocon had an argument after the Miami race, and that Ocon was due to be replaced at the team.

Although picked up by no major news outlets, this made an appearance on smaller sites, based on little more than social media chatter. 

Speaking yesterday, Ocon and Komatsu denounced the rumours - Komatsu, in particular, was incensed by the suggestions. 

"I honestly don't know where the story came from," Komatsu said. "I don't know if this journalist was quoted, but I have no idea. No foundation whatsoever. Absolute bulls***.

"So, if somebody wants to write that kind of bulls***, feel free, but f***ing hell, is that journalism? I have no idea. It's terrible."
