Okay, it’s only Day 1 of pre-season testing out of 3 in Bahrain but safe to say it’s an encouraging first few steps so far for Jack Doohan who wasn’t bad in the morning shift of 1.31.841 that puts him 14th out of the 20 cars running out on track.
At least he’s evaluating what’s his best setup for the A525 chassis so far as if he’s back to school to start the new year at a new higher grade that will help him get a better idea when he will be running the afternoon session for Day 2 of 3 tomorrow.
Remember come qualifying and race day when others crash out or unable to go mechanically & he’s still on, things could go his way after all – don’t forget that.
And there’s always the more experienced Pierre getting the best out of that Renault engine once again and he was 6th fastest of 1.31.353 – goes to show he does mean business when running up front like we saw at the final few races of last season.
Lots more to come on Day 2 tomorrow with Pierre in the morning & Jack back in the afternoon/evening.
