Ocon was what, 15th? 16th? If he was 10th or 11th, I could understand wanting to unlap yourself but his race was doomed from the start. I can see the situation from his perspective and the perspective that Max should've been smarter and given more room but at the end of the day, Ocon is at fault in this one. I kinda wish their tangle damaged both their cars more leaving them out of the race, which might have led to some on track brawling. That would've been awesome. 
Why does any of that matter? Ocon was on fresher tyres and was much faster than Verstappen. Being leader gives you advantages but it doesn’t give you carte blanche. Ocon shouldn’t have been expected to hold station just because he was behind the leader, he’s got his own race and FI their own objectives.
But. Ocon should have been more thoughtful about when and where to execute the overtake. Around the outside of T1 against the leader who was defending was a tad unnecessary. That said, Verstappen entirely at fault for the contact at T2.
