Jack Doohan's debut drive at a Formula One weekend may have been cut short through a technical issue, but the Australian teenager's famous dad was still left cherishing a "magnificent moment".
Former world motorcycling champ Mick Doohan recalled all the days he'd take his boy to go-kart meetings around Australia, so reckoned it was an emotional day to watch 19-year-old Jack now making his bow in the world's greatest motor sport circus at the Mexico Grand Prix.
Invited into the Alpine garage at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez to watch Jack in his first F1 practice session on Friday, Mick liked what he saw of the teenager's debut before technical issues with the car's power unit prompted the team to cut his session short after 13 laps.
