Alpine He was in the center of the controversies in the Miami Grand Prix Because he received a fine of 1000 euros after an infraction committed by the Australian Jack Doohan during the only free practice of this weekend.
The incident occurred in the urban circuit of Miami where Doohan ended in the nineteenth position, without showing competitive performance. But the problem was not its result, but exceeded the speed limit allowed in the Pitlane, which generated a direct sanction for the French team.
As reported by the sports commissioners of Formula 1, the limit in the boxes area is 80 km/h, but The Australian was registered circulating at 97.5 km/h, a clear violation of the technical regulation.
As a consequence, Alpine must pay an economic fine of 1000 euros, which adds more pressure on the continuity of Doohan, who still failed to demonstrate a good performance in the first six calendar races and the arrival of the Argentine Franco Colapint To take your place.
The qualy for the sprint, also a headache for Alpine
On the other hand, free practice was not good for the French team since the poor performance of Doohan joined the lack of rhythm of Pierre Gaslywho also remained at the bottom of the time table, in the seventeenth place.
The classification for tomorrow’s short race (since 13 in Argentina) was pure suffering for the team that has Franco Colapint at the Estone headquarters in command of the simulator. Doohan, who could leave the Argentine in two weeks, will start 17.
Part of his bad place was explained that, on the last opportunity of the SQ1, the team decided to get its car at the same time as that of Gasly, which forced the Australian to open and be stopped against a wall.
The French pilot did not have a better time. Although he advanced to the SQ2, he did not have a good performance already the exit of the problem curved 16 touched the new rear right against a wall and was relegated: tomorrow he will leave from the 13th place of the grid.
