F1 outcast Jack Doohan’s planned career switch falls through at 11th hour
Ex-Alpine F1 driver Jack Doohan will not compete in Super Formula this season after his proposed move to Japan’s Super Formula championship fell through. Despite eyeing a drive with Kondo Racing, the team signed Ukyo Sasahara instead. Doohan’s nightmare test debut in Super Formula in December, where he had three crashes in a row, was not the main reason for missing out on the seat. The negotiations with Kondo Racing broke down as Doohan could not bring the expected budget. The future for Doohan remains uncertain, with a possible reserve role at Haas now in question. Alpine and Doohan mutually agreed to part ways, with the team thanking him for his dedication and professionalism.
