Jack Doohan will be behind the wheel of Alpine’s car this weekend at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Jack Doohan will have his first free practice session for the season at the Canadian Grand Prix, driving for Alpine and replacing Esteban Ocon. He is rumored to potentially secure a full-time F1 spot next year as Ocon leaves the team. This opportunity in Montreal allows Doohan to familiarize himself with the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and the 2024 machinery early in the season. His focus will be on supporting the team, maximizing the session for both drivers, and exploring test items and the new track layout. Doohan’s appearance fulfills one of the two mandatory rookie outings each team must have per season, with team principal Bruno Famin trusting in Doohan’s previous simulator work and feedback.
