Jack Doohan has been involved in a high-speed crash during Formula One practice in Japan before fellow Australian Oscar Piastri topped the time sheets.
Rookie Doohan was on his fourth lap in the second practice session at Suzuka on Friday (AEDT) when his car lost grip on the way to turn one.
He spun into the gravel before colliding with the tyre barrier, with his Alpine car suffering significant damage and losing two wheels.
