WATCH: 'He wanted to punch me'- 5 famous F1 brawls

Max Verstappen's behaviour at the Brazil Grand Prix has been brought into question after the Red Bull driver pushed and shoved Force India's Esteban Ocon after the race. 

Verstappen, while leading the race on lap 44, was taken out of the lead by the lapped Frenchman. 

Famous F1 brawls over the years

Ocon told AFP: "We were at the scales room. He wanted to punch me. He pushed me and he was wanting to be violent. It was not professional."

The incident drew comparisons to other occasions when a driver was leading a race and 'forced' off track and a fight ensued. 

F1.com posted a video on Twitter with five previous scenarios, including a collision between Jean-Louis Schlesser and three time F1 champion Ayrton Senna at the Italian GP in 1988.
