Alpine drama as Gasly fumes at late team order to swap cars
Gasly’s team instructed him to let Ocon pass in the closing stages of the race at Suzuka, which he reluctantly did on the last lap. Despite finishing in 10th place, Gasly was frustrated and expressed his anger visibly. The team told him they would discuss the situation after the race. Previously, Alpine had switched Gasly and Ocon’s positions to give Gasly a chance to catch Alonso, but when he couldn’t, Gasly was told to give the position back. Gasly claims that the team did not discuss this plan before the race and he doesn’t understand the decision, as he was the leading car. Nevertheless, he put the team’s interests first and respected the decision.
