Jack Doohan talked about his contract with Alpine

The Australian pilot was clear about his link with the French team in Saudi Arabia, where he was 17th in training.

From before starting the 2025 season, Jack Doohan lives with the noise that was generated around his armchair in the Alpine team, especially since the incorporation of Franco Colapinto as a reserve, a place that the Estonian Paul Aron also occupies. Oliver Oakes, director of the team, acknowledged that from the entrails of the Escudería de Estone little they did to appease the rumors. “It’s just saying that we have caused a lot of noise. We haven’t put it in the best position,” said English a month ago. The Australian continued and Upon arriving in Saudi Arabia, where the fifth date of the year is disputed, he was consulted on his contract.

“Internally we know what my contract is, my situation and, otherwise, I knew that I was always going to fluctuate, and I can only concentrate on what the team and I propose to do: catch up as soon as possible,” Doohan said on his arrival in Jeddah in statements collected by Motorsport. And he added: “It has been positive that we have had good times in the last four rounds, that the rhythm is there and that there are many good things to get ahead. And now SIt is about to gather all those things, and I am sure that we can achieve great things. “

Doohan finished 17th in the training of Saudi Arabia (his partner Pirre Gasly was eighth). The oceanic could not take advantage of his return with soft tires in the classification simulation because he went wide in a curve and passed over the piano, hitting the bottom of his A525. There were several pilots who passed from the limits. In the end, Doohan marked 1M29S912, was 1S645 from Lando Norris and Gasly’s 806 thousandths.

“With the tire I was quite comfortable. With the soft I didn’t finish feeling confident, I could not squeeze it. I will work tonight to improve everything for the third practice and maximize the chances in the classification. I think that There is a potential to fight for Q3, between positions seven and ten, ”said Doohan at the closing of Australia Friday.
