Why Gasly is furious with Alpine’s Suzuka team order
Pierre Gasly was frustrated at the Japanese Grand Prix when he was instructed to let his teammate, Esteban Ocon, pass him for ninth place. The team’s strategy was to undercut Gasly and allow him to pass later to close the gap with Fernando Alonso. However, Gasly was on fresher tires and believed he would have overtaken Ocon anyway. The team ordered the cars to swap positions on the last lap but then reversed the decision, giving Ocon ninth place. Gasly expressed his dissatisfaction over team radio and threw his hands up in frustration after the race. Despite this, Gasly called for fair play from Ocon in future situations.
