Doohan lost four points of superlicance and gasly disqualified in Formula 1

He China Grand Prix It will be easily forgettable for Alpinethe team that has the Argentine Franco frankntoto As a reserve and “boring” pilot, he acknowledged with a suggestive phrase this weekend. Is that the second date of the season of the Formula 1 It was a career to focus on management, but the chief of the team Flavio Briatore escaped the turtle. What happened? To the Australian Jack Doohanalthough he crossed the goal in the 14th position, He was penalized and removed points in the Supericance. French Pierre Gaslywhich ended 11, They disqualified sports commissioners next to Ferrari of Charles Leclerc y Lewis Hamiltonwhen he had stayed at the gates of adding points.

Doohan had already been sanctioned at the Sprint Race for his shock to Gabriel Bortoleto and this Sunday added ten seconds of surcharge for its defensive conduction against Isack Hadjar. It was on Tour 14 when, the FIA ​​explained in its statement, “forced his opponent to get out of the track when locking him in a curve “. Therefore, he was penalized with the surcharge and two units that, added to those who also removed him in the Sprint, They give a total of four in the weekend.

Thus, although he crossed the 14th goal, he lost the position with the Frenchman of Racing Bulls and also with Liam Lawson, who on the track started from El Pitlane and only ended in front of the Sauber, by Yuki Tsunoda (he had to stop at the end after breaking the wing) and Fernando Alonso, the only one who abandoned, with problems in the brake of Aston Martin in the brake of Aston Martin in the brake of the Aston.

“You struggled hard until the end”I gave the team to the Australian pilot, next to a video in which he could see it visibly sad for, again, he could not add for the team, since at the premiere in Melbourne, he had abandoned.

The other bad news for Alpine came a while after the checkered flag. Gasly was the first to apply the strategy of a boxing stop, on Vuelta 11, to change hard tires for white rubber and complete the remaining 45 turns. However, it still does not have a good time despite the rhythm that the French ‘rose’ showed in the preseason. Almost six seconds from Oliver Bearmanwho gave Haas four of the 14 points that also added thanks to the fifth place of Esteban Ocon.

But through a statement from the commissioners of the race, the Gasly Alpine did not pass the technical review. As they explained, His car was below the minimum weight (800 kilos) required for competitionlike that of Leclerc (Ferrari, who had finished fifth), so both were disqualified.

“The Gasly car came to weigh 800 kg during its initial weight control, only to perform a fuel mass control and remove 1.1 kg of fuel, again according to the drainage procedure presented by Alpine, which means that it later recorded 799 kg,” the statement explained.

And about Leclerc, he explained: “In a report by the FIA ​​F1 technical delegate, Jo Bauer, it was revealed that Leclerc’s car weighed exactly 800 kg after returning to Boxes, the minimum weight required according to the regulations. Since his front wing was damaged in an early contact with his teammate Lewis Hamilton, Leclerc’s car was heavy again with the endplat An official spare front wing, which increased the total weight to 800.5 kg.

In the case of Hamilton – which on Saturday had won the first sprint race of the season – it was the thickness of the car of the car that did not comply with the regulations. Did not comply with the 9 millimeters of minimum thickness. “The set of wagon 44 was measured and it was determined that it had a thickness of 8.6 mm (left side), 8.6 mm (central axis of the car) and 8.5 mm (right side). This is below the minimum thickness of 9 mm specified in article 3.5.9 of the technical regulation,” he said.

Before knowing the sanction, the seven -time world champion had recognized that “suffered” during the main race of the China Grand Prix, in which he started fifth and term sixth, prior to disqualification. “It was very different,” he said about the performance of the car from Saturday to Sunday. “I was suffering. (…) The car did not turn at low speed, and yesterday I had not had that problem,” he lamented.
