Doohan Receives Death Threats Before Alpine Exit

In the Netflix series "Drive to Survive," Australian driver Jack Doohan revealed that he received multiple death‑threatening emails and witnessed armed men around the time of the Miami Grand Prix. He said the threats were so severe he had to call a police escort to manage the situation.

Following the race, Alpine replaced Doohan with Franco Colapinto and he is now a reserve driver for Haas. Doohan has also reported online abuse from fans, particularly those from Colapinto’s home country of Argentina.
