Looks like Jack Doohan has been improving on what has been a top Day 2’s work of pre-season testing for Alpine-Renault & he was 8th fastest of 1.30.368 after 80 laps just ahead of team-mate Pierre – just 1.0s behind Carlos Sainz Jr. who topped the charts at Williams also with a Mercedes engine.
When there was rain earlier in the day coupled other than an odd slip up or two through at some corners, Jack did indeed made the most out of his afternoon/evening shift. And yes, he can be so damn good to post a decent enough time through one lap for sure – just have a look back at his junior career in Formula 2 and 3.
You might think they’ve promoted him to a race seat just because the team has no other option & then later Franco pops up out of nowhere but at the end of the day, he’s more than ready to make his seat his own with as long as he gets good race results under his No.7 A525 since there’s only 20 cars out fighting Top 7-10 points.
Let’s hope Jack can stay that way going into the third and final day’s pre-season work tomorrow.
