But just seven-and-a-half minutes into FP2, and on only his fourth lap, Doohan caused the red flags to fly as he clattered the barriers at Turn 1, destroying the left-hand side of his car and both the front and rear wings before asking "what happened?" and gingerly walking away from the wreckage.
The crash paused the session for just over 20 minutes, before resuming with half-an-hour remaining.
