F1 rookie Doohan was left shaken after he was forced to take evasive action to avoid a potentially-big collision with Sargeant at the finalꦓ ಞcorner of the Yas Marina Circuit. 

“Almost had the biggest accident of my life!” Doohan rep🌸orted over team radio.

Sargeant was suꩵmmoned to the stewards to explain the incident and was penalised for what they deemed as being “erratic driving” that “could easily have resulted in a collis𓂃ion”. 

“The driver of Car 2🍸 was preparing for a push lap and the radiꦐo communication from his engineer was almost entirely about preparation for that lap,” the stewards noted.

“The driver only received warningꦫ of the approach of Car 61, 1 second prior to its arrival. This ♋could easily have resulted in a collision.

“In mitigation it was noted that 50% of the field were substitute drivers and hence there were many different run plans in operation, making it hard for teams to predict whe🅷ther cars were going to be on push 🦋laps or otherwise.

“However, on a circuit where there are a number of places where it is not possible for t👍he driver to have effective use of the mirrors to see approaching cars, it is essential that priority of radio communications be given to warning the driver, of other cars, rather than information for th💞e preparation of a push lap. Accordingly a fine for the team is warranted.” 

Meanwhile, Lance Stroll earned hi💛s Aston Martin team a €5,000 fine for driving unnecessarily slowly and impeding Frederik Vesti’s Mercedes.
