P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Jack Doohan’s F1 career could be over after just seven races, with former F1 driver Karun Chandhok not rating his chances of a return very highly.
Former F1 driver Karun Chandhok suggested that Jack Doohan may find it challenging to secure a grid spot as no team has shown interest in him. Doohan was initially given a full-time seat at Alpine for the 2025 season but was replaced by Franco Colapinto after only six races. Colapinto has the opportunity to showcase his skills in the next five races before Alpine evaluates the second seat alongside Pierre Gasly. Chandhok believes that Doohan’s chances of a comeback are slim, especially with the lack of interest from other teams. According to Chandhok, Doohan’s best hope lies in Colapinto struggling and Alpine possibly giving him another chance to prove himself. The five-race deal announced for Doohan by Alpine indicates a lack of confidence in his abilities, making his return to the grid uncertain.
