Alpine had to fit a new power unit on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan’s 🍌Formula 1 car after he ran into technical issues in Friday practice for the Chinese Grand Prix.

With about 15 minutes remaining in the session, Doo♔han missed a corner and🦹 complained about “no power steering” as he parked his car outside the track in a run-off area.

A red flag was de🌠ployed to assist the recovery of his car, with the Australian forced to miss the remainder of the session.

However, despite the short window between the sole practice session of the weekend and sprint qualifying, Alpine was able to s🌺end Doohan back out on track for SQ1.

FIA documents reveal that Do⛦ohan got a new internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-H, MGU-K, as well a new exhaust prior to the grid-deciding shootout.

No penalty was incurred as hꦍe hadn’t exceeded the maximum all༒ocation for any of those power unit elements, or the exhaust system on his A525.

ꦆDoohan was able to recover from the setback, which had left him at the bottom of the timesheets in FP1, to qualify 16th for the sprint race in Shanghai, one place ahead of teammate Pierre Gasly.

The 22-year-old has been facing intense pressure to justify his seat ever since it was announced that he would join Alpine as a full-time driver to replace Haas-bound 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon.

The Enstone-b🍃ased squad already has Franco Colapinto in its roster as a reserve driver should Doohan not be able to live up to its expectations.

Team principal Oliver Oakes admitted that Alpine is partly responsible for the scrutiny Doohan is facing this year, but is confident he will be able to come back stronger a💜fter his opening lap crash in wet-weather conditions at last weekend's Australian GP.

“There♌'s the aspect of we want to have a good line-up, also want to have some good drivers in the pipeline,” said Oakes. “And I thi🃏nk by doing that, we obviously created a little bit of noise around him.

“But credit to him that he's got down to business as soon as the season started, and the job he did in Australia was brilliant. Obviously, we saw a couple of people getting caught out on Sunday 🍌with the conditions, but that's to be expected when you're a rookie.

“He just needs to dust himself off and go again, which this morning he did a good job stra𝔉ight away. A little bit of a frustration there with a failure at the end, but he was doing a go💃od start to the weekend again.”
