Gasly overtakes Verstappen in Japan GP, Verstappen waves in return
Max Verstappen endured a tough Japanese Grand Prix, spending much of the race in battles with Alpine's Pierre Gasly, who overtook him on the start/finish straight after Verstappen ran out of battery under the sport's tighter energy-regulation rules; Verstappen then waved to Gasly as he passed, with Gasly finishing seventh as Alpine kicked off the year strongly, while Verstappen remained unhappy with the regulations.
