Axed F1 star crashes TWICE at same corner in horror debut
Australian F1 star Jack Doohan faced a challenging start to his new racing chapter, crashing twice in two days at the same corner of the track. Despite being dropped by Alpine after only six F1 races, his replacement Franco Colapinto failed to score any points in the remaining 18 races of 2025. Doohan remained at Alpine as a test and reserve driver, but was not utilized throughout the year. Colapinto retained his seat for the 2026 season, while Doohan aims to switch to Super Formula. Nevertheless, he struggled during post-season testing at Mugello Circuit, crashing his car on consecutive days at the same spot. As he looks ahead to 2027, Doohan may need a strong performance in Super Formula to catch the attention of F1 teams eager for new talent.
