Alpine's Jack Doohan Wobbles Away From High Speed Crash At Suzuka

Alpine Racings Jack Doohan wobbled away with the help of stewards after his car plummeted into the wall of turn 1 at Suzuka Circuit in Japan on Friday.

The 22-year-old Australian was out during free practice 2 when the wipe out took place, bringing out the red flag just four laps into the session.

The practice was paused for 20 minutes for a clean up before the last half hour of the session resumed.

F1 commentators covering the practice session indicated that Doohan may have taken the turn with the DRS open, causing the car to lose control and slam into the barricade. DRS stands for Drag Reduction System and allows the car to go faster at certain sections of the track.

That is a huge hit at speed, one commentator said.
