He had some pain in the back, so then you have to be careful. For me, it's the most important thing, everything else is then not valid anymore. Maybe some parts are two sets, not everything maybe.

“This is everything that wanted to make me join,” he told the In the Fast Lane podcast earlier this year. He easily established a lead early in the race, though as the track dried he was reeled back in by DAMS F2 rookie Ayumu Iwasa, whose wet-weather tyres were in better shape at the end of the no-stop race. It’s a timely marker of progress in his maiden campaign in the category and a sign that his sudden change of plans this year are paying dividends. Vips already made his practice debut with Red Bull Racing in Spain. Doohan started the sprint race fourth but made short work of Juri Vips, Enzo Fittipaldi and then Jehan Daruvala to take the lead in treacherously wet conditions. The car’s roll hoop will undoubtedly be a key area of interest, although it’s worth noting that the halo is rated to withstand a greater vertical impact than the roll hoop, which might go part of the way to explaining why one withstood the crash and not the other.
