Jack Doohan's position threatened by Colapinto

Yesterday, during private tests of the team, held on the Circuit Circuit, Colapinto, located at the Alpine Monopost of 2023, A523, according to unconfirmed information, The Argentinian was 0.7 seconds on the tour faster than Paul Aron in the race simulations.

In Japan, Ryo Hirakawa has shown an excellent adaptation to A525 And he had a very close rhythm to Pierre Gasly, also showing that he feels more comfortable in the car compared to Doohan.

Franco Colapinto, Paul Aron and Kush Maini are the spare pilots of Alpine for this season. And Ryo Hirakawa was on this list, but the Japanese joined the Haas.

In the three races this season, Doohan did not score. He did not finish the race in Australia, finished the 13th in China and the 15th in Japan, after having a serious accident in the training session.

The Australian was in the fourth tour of the session when he suddenly lost the monopost control at 300 kilometers per hour, before the first turn, violently hitting the protection barrier. The left side of the monopost was destroyed, and those from the boxers quickly intervened through the radio system: “I'm fine, yes. What happened?” He reacted.

Doohan was assisted by the medical team Fia, when descending from the monopost, being taken over by the medical car. Isack Hadjar was behind him on the circuit, briefly summarizing the situation: “Wow, big, big accident!”

Resignations showed that the Australian had entered the curve with the DRS activatedwhich led to the loss of adhesion to the rear wheels and the violent impact with the protective barrier.
