Jack Doohan F1 pressure ramps up after huge crash at Japanese Grand Prix
Alpine Formula 1 star Jack Doohan has triggered a red flag during FP2 at the Japanese Grand Prix after a high-speed crash on Friday.
The 22-year-old is currently under significant pressure to perform with four reserve drivers waiting in the wings in the Alpine garage after a disappointing start to the season. The second practice session of the weekend had barely got underway when Doohan began a sharp descent towards Turn 1 and initially appeared to dip a wheel into the grass, smashing into the barriers and losing two wheels.
The Aussie racer immediately confirmed over team radio that he was unharmed, saying: “I’m ok yeah. What happened?”
Upon further inspection, Sky F1’s Anthony Davidson commented: “I think the car might have bottomed out Crofty.”
To which David Croft responded: “I don’t know about you Ant but I’m not seeing driver error.”
