Doohan says high testing mileage makes him most attractive non-F1 driver
Australian driver Jack Doohan is undertaking FP1 rookie sessions in addition to 10 days of private F1 testing in older cars throughout the season. He is also doing extensive simulator work at the factory, which is being upgraded this year. If Esteban Ocon or Pierre Gasly move elsewhere, Doohan will be well positioned to take their seat, and he may also be appealing to other teams. His main focus is securing his place on the grid for next year and impressing the Alpine team boss to potentially replace Ocon or Gasly. Doohan has a long contract with Alpine and is determined to be on the grid in 2025. He will be logging miles at various F1 venues during the 10 days of private testing, including Qatar, Abu Dhabi, and several European circuits. He has abandoned F2 and is solely focusing on his F1 duties, including being available as a reserve for all 24 races.
