Shocking Video Reveals Doohan Racing Injured – Safety Concerns at GP Japan

Doohan’s Terrifying Suzuka Crash Unveils Rookie’s Heart-Stopping Mistake

A shocking video has emerged from social media showing the intense suffering of Australian driver, Jack Doohan, following a dramatic incident during the Japanese Grand Prix. Questions arise about how he managed to pass the FIA tests after the crash that left him visibly injured.

During the second free practice session, Doohan, behind the wheel of his Alpine, pushed too hard to make up for lost time, resulting in a heavy crash just 8 minutes after the green flag. Reports suggest that Doohan attempted to navigate a section of the Suzuka circuit without manually closing the DRS, utilizing a simulator trick that ended in disaster. The team openly admitted to a “miscalculation” on the part of the driver.

Speculation surrounding Doohan’s injuries surfaced as he was taken to the Medical Center immediately after the crash. While initial reports hinted at a possible hand injury, Alpine dismissed the claims, stating that Doohan was cleared by medical staff to continue racing over the weekend.

Upon finishing the Grand Prix in 15th place, a post-race video captured Doohan struggling to exit his car, raising concerns about his physical condition during the race. The footage shows Doohan unable to use his left hand to leverage himself out of the cockpit, needing assistance from a team mechanic. Fellow driver Esteban Ocon was seen aiding Doohan, who appeared to be in pain as he limped away from the car.

The regulations stipulate that a driver must be able to remove the steering wheel and exit the vehicle within 7 seconds, and replace the wheel within a total of 12 seconds. Given the challenges Doohan faced in exiting the car, taking over 20 seconds, it raises alarming safety questions about his ability to evacuate the car promptly in the event of an emergency.

The FIA’s stringent safety protocols require drivers to pass specific tests before competing, yet the evident struggles faced by Doohan post-race suggest a potential breach of these regulations. As the video circulates online, prompting further scrutiny, the Federation may need to reevaluate its safety standards to ensure the well-being of drivers remains a top priority.
