“So, there are a lot of unknowns for him, but I suppose fundamentally he’s not going to be on people’s radar.”
Johnny Herbert believes Jack Doohan is unlikely to make a comeback to the F1 grid after leaving Alpine, as Franco Colapinto took over his seat post-Miami Grand Prix.
Doohan had a brief stint with Alpine, but could not score any points, while Colapinto’s promotion was expected due to his impressive performances for Williams last year.
Herbert thinks it will be challenging for Doohan to find a spot in the highly competitive field of young drivers, especially with the return of proven drivers like Sergio Perez.
The pressure is now on Colapinto to perform after a tough start to his return, as he is expected to either match or beat his teammate Pierre Gasly consistently.
To Herbert, Colapinto’s success hinges on outperforming Gasly and proving he belongs in the tough world of Formula 1 racing.
