1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill beli🐓eves Jack Dooh🅺an will be “so well prepared” for his likely debut with Alpine in 2025.

Doohan is reportedly the favourite to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon at Alpine.

The Australian has been part of the Alpine stable for the last couple of years, playing a crucial role in the simulator andꩲ as reserve driver.

He’s enjoyed an intensive te🐽sting programme for the team as he prepares for🐻 a likely F1 debut.

Alpine had hoped to convince 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz to join, but the Spaniard opted for Williams.

Doohan is widely accepted as the front-runner to replace Ocon next year, teaming up with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly.

Speaking on the , ♓Hill offered his view on Doohan.

“Jack is a very professional driver,” he said. “He acquitted hi𝕴mself well. He’s shown that he can race. He’s smart and inquisitive. He seems to be there asking all the questions - doing the groundwork with the team.

“He will definitely be an in෴teresting guy to give a crack to. He’s yet to have proven credentials in F1 like Ollie Bearman who’s jumped in the car and done a race. A lot of these guys are capable.

“They’re so well pr💧epared they won’t have a problem when they get in♚to F1.”

Doohan’s chances have been boosted due to the lack of viable♍ alternative options.

In terms of the current drivers available, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu could be an option, particular⛎ly given his Chinese links.

Although, his form in 2024 alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas - the best alternative to Dooha💧n - has been woeful.

Bruno Famin, who recently stepped down as Alpine team boss, admittedꦛ before the summer break that the team is “preparing” Doohan as a possible full-time driver in 2025.

“We’re preparing him,” he explained. “He has a quite heavy testing programm✅e, and we are happy 🀅with that.

“Let’s see how he develops. He’s one possibility among others, but he’s ꧅one po𒆙ssibility for sure.”
