To replace Esteban Ocon, Alpine has decided to trust its reserve driver Jack Doohan. The Australian had the opportunity to drive in Abu Dhabi and is looking forward to starting his first season in the premier class. And the young driver is planning far with Alpine.
The first part of the season d’Alpine was akin to a real obstacle course. Between poor performances and uncertainties, the French team struggled to find its rhythm, leaving doubts about its future in Formula 1. At the end of June, Alpine secured one of its pillars by extending Pierre Gasly's contract. A strategic move that demonstrates the team's desire to build on solid foundations for the future. For his part, Esteban Ocon chose to turn the page by joining Haasthus opening a new chapter in his career. To replace it, Alpine bet on Jack Doohan. The Australian sees himself still behind the wheel of the French single-seater in 2030.
Doohan at Alpine until 2030?
« Where does Jack Doohan see himself in five years? I would like to still be in F1, with Alpine, fighting for victories, podiums and world championships “, declared Jack Doohan in comments relayed by Nextgen-Auto. The latter also praises Flavio Briatore.
Briatore best stable manager according to Doohan
« My two idols are Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna, and I would put Flavio Briatore as team leader. Ever since I can remember, I have always loved motorsport – whether on two or four wheels. I chose the four-wheel path rather than the two-wheel path. No matter what I do or would have done, I know that I would like to do it correctly and reach the top, the ultimate goal of this sport. F1 is that for us. This passion, being surrounded by motorsport since I was little, rubbing shoulders with famous people and heroes of our sport… Michael Schumacher, since I was very young, seeing what he accomplished and what is possible in this sport, with its ups and downs – it’s something I dream about and am about to fully embrace », Confided Jack Doohan.
