P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The latest RacingNews365 poll has thrown up a close result as to who fans would like to see race for Alpine in 2025.
According to the latest RacingNews365 poll, Jack Doohan and Mick Schumacher are the favorites to replace Esteban Ocon at Alpine, following Ocon’s announcement of leaving the team at the end of 2024 after five seasons. Ocon achieved his maiden grand prix victory in the ’21 Hungarian GP during his time at Enstone. The statement did not disclose Ocon’s next team or his replacement at Alpine, prompting RacingNews365 to poll the audience on who they would like to see partner Pierre Gasly in 2025. With over 3,000 votes, Alpine reserves Doohan and Schumacher garnered 68.12% support, equivalent to 2,070 votes. Doohan is viewed as a strong candidate for promotion, having previously participated in FP1 sessions for Alpine, while Schumacher, who lost his Haas seat in 2022, is determined to return to F1 and is currently competing for Alpine in the WEC. Despite this, Schumacher is not considered a top contender for the Mercedes seat vacated by Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari.
