F1: Jack Doohan, outside the first round of the Miami GP

The Australian had a touch with Liam Lawson and had to leave his alpine lying in curve 11.

“Race touch”, was the sentence of sports commissioners at the touch between Liam Lawson and Jack Doohan who caused the abandonment of Australian before he could meet the first round. The hope of the Alpine pilot to close a good weekend in the Miami GP, sixth quote of 2025, ended in the first curve.

Once Juan Manuel Fangio said: “The races are never won in the first curve, often they are lost.” And that happened to Doohan, without having made any mistake, it is true. Because he arrived at the internal part to the first curve after the game and had no more place to the right to put his alpine. I was already on the piano. In the middle of the track he traveled Lawson with his Racing Bulls. On the external was Lewis Hamilton with his Ferrari (a little later) and Gabriel Bortoleto with the Sauber (a little further back). Could the New Zealander do something different to avoid the touch? For sports commissioners it was a career touch.

Undoubtedly, it was not the best closure for Doohan, whose future is wrapped in a constant rumor about the possibility of losing its armchair in Alpine in favor of Franco Colapinto. The noise reached Miami and just before the start of the Miamense competition, Flavio Briatore, executive advisor of Alpine, said that the Argentine “in Imala will be a reserve, reserve, reserve.” While Doohan had no responsibility in abandonment, he clearly does not add for his future actions.
