Under pressure F1 star picks up four penalty points during Chinese GP
A꧃n incident-filled weekend for one under pr𓆉essure F1 driver
Jack Doohan picked ✅up four F1 penalty points for incidents during the Chinese Grand Prix weekend.
It was another pointless weekend f🐬or Doohan as two incidents ruined his chances of finishing in the top 10 in Shanghai.
Doohan was handed a 10-second time penalty and two F1 penalty points for a last-lap collision with Sauber’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Gabriel Bortoleto during the China sprint race.
He received th༒e🐻 same punishment for a different incident in the grand prix.
This time, it was for forcing Racing Bull’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Isack Hadjar off the track at the hairpin whenඣ he was trying to defend his position.
This me🔜ans that Do𒁃ohan has four penalty points in his name after just two rounds.
Any dr꧑iver that accrues 12 penalty points must serve a one-race suspension.
Why was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Doohan penalised?
The first inci♛dent with Bortoleto saw Doohan lock-up and run into the sid🎀e of the Brazilian.
The stewards noted: “DOO [Doohan] suggested that he was in control of the overtake but the presence of the two 💧Haas cars and the line they took compro൩mised his overtake attempt.
“First, as the car atte🌱mpting to overtake, the responsibility was on DOO to ensure that it was done in a safe manner and inline with the regulations and the guidelines.
“Secondly, a𝓡pplying the Driving Standards Guidelines, DOO did not have the right to ൩the corner at the apex and should have backed off – here, because of the speed at which he approached the corner for the overtake and the resulting lock-up and understeer, a collision was caused, for which DOO was predominantly to blame.”
For the incident with Hadjar, the stewards felt that Doohan had contravened the ruleꦑs by forcing another driver off the track.
They said: “Car 7 (DOO) was overtaken by Car 6 (HAD) in the run-up to Turn 14, and in trying to take the position back on the inside, DOO lost control, locked up and forced HAD off th🍸e track.
“We accordingly imposed a 10-second time penalty with 2 penalty points, which is in🧔 keeping with the guidel꧒ines for forcing a driver off the track.”
Despite intense speculation about his F1 future following Alpin▨e’s decision to s♌ign
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Colapinto as their test and reserve drive♛r, Doohan’s position doesn’t appear to be under immediate threat.
