Jack Doohan picked up four F1 penalty points for incidents during the Chine🌠se Grand Prix weekend.

It was another pointless weekend for Doohan as two incident🐼s ruined his chances of finishing in the top 10 in S𒆙hanghai.

Doohan was handed a 10-second time penalty and two F1 penalty points for a last-lap collision with Sauber’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Gabriel Bortoleto during the China sprint race.

He received the same punis🐻hment for a different incident in the grand prix.

This time, it was for forcing Racing Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Isack Hadjar o✤ff the track at the hairpin when he was trying to defend his pos🎃ition.

This means that Doohan has four penalty points in his nam𒆙e after just two ro🦋unds.

Any driver that accrues 12 penalty points must serve a🀅 one-race suspension.

Why was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan penalised?

The first incident with Bortoleto saw Doohan lock-up and run into the side 🀅of the Brazilian.

The stewards noted: “DOO [Doohan🅷] suggꦏested that he was in control of the overtake but the presence of the two Haas cars and the line they took compromised his overtake attempt.

“First, as the car attempting to overtake, the responsibility was on DOO to ensure that it was d♓෴one in a safe manner and inline with the regulations and the guidelines.

“Secondly, applying the Driving Standards Guidelines, DOO did not have the right to the corner at the apex and should have backed off – here, because of the speed at which he approached the corner for the overtake and the resulting lock-up and understeer, a collision𝔉 was caused, for which DOO was predominantly to blame.”

For the incident with H𓆉adjar, the stewards felt that Doohan had contravened the rules by forcing another driver off the track.

They said: “Car 7 (DOO) was overtaken by Car 6 (HAD) in the run-up to Turn 14, and in trying to take the position back on the insi🐟de, DOO lost control, locked up and forced HAD off the track.

“We accordingly imposed a 10-second tim♎e penalty with 2 penalty points, which is in keeping with the guidelines for forcing a d𒈔river off the track.”

Despite intense speculat😼ion about his F1 future following Alpine’s decision to sign

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto as their test and reserve driver, Doohan’s position doesn’t 😼appear to be under immediate threat.
