Former F1 star blacks out Instagram pic after crashing three times at same corner
Former Alpine F1 star Jack Doohan has blacked out his social media profile picture, following a challenging post-season Super Formula test in Suzuka. Doohan participated in the testing with Kondo Racing over three days, fueling speculation of a potential move to the series in 2026 after missing out on an F1 seat for next season. After being replaced mid-season in F1, Doohan took a break before returning to the track in Super Formula, where he unfortunately crashed at the same corner on all three testing days. This led to social media scrutiny and ultimately the decision to black out his Instagram profile picture, a move reminiscent of Kimi Antonelli’s following the Qatar Grand Prix. Antonelli faced backlash and did the same after false accusations of intentionally affecting Max Verstappen’s title chances, showcasing the pressures of social media on young racing talents.
