Jack Doohan is increasingly being mentioned as Esteban Ocon’s potential successor at Alpine.
Jack Doohan, Alpine’s current reserve driver, is on track to secure a full-time F1 seat, as confirmed during an exclusive interview with RacingNews365 that included his father, the legendary Michael ‘Mick’ Doohan. Mick, a five-time motorcycle world champion, rose to fame in the 1990s in the 500cc class. Jack, his son, is now poised to make his mark in single-seater motorsport, with a recent test at Zandvoort captured in an exclusive interview with RacingNews365. The Netherlands holds special significance for Mick, who enjoyed numerous victories at the Assen circuit. Jack, following a childhood incident that diverted him from motorcycles to karting, found his passion in four-wheel racing, with the support and pride of his father. Mick acknowledges the similarities between the two racing worlds and praises Jack’s determination to excel, with a mutual respect for each other’s racing pursuits.
