2025 Pre-Season testing now over after three good days for the Alpine guys #7 Jack Doohan and #10 Pierre Gasly in Bahrain where Pierre was always on track in between the Top 5-10 (no problem with that Renault engine there) and Jack making the most out of these difficult situations even with mixed conditions so he can manage practice and qualifying better with traffic around him next time that can translate into good race results.
He had to go through that when he was thrown into the deep end on his unexpected debut at Abu Dhabi back in December – imagine what could’ve happened if he started a bit further up the grid and finish more like closer to Top 10.
Gotta say being 12th fastest on top of 5th if it’s just the AM session ain’t bad to finish off Friday and the whole three-day’s worth of work thanks to his crew behind the scenes. Now he knows what to do as soon he’s back in that A525 in a few weeks time at Albert Park in Melbourne – his home Grand Prix track, how special is that to begin the new season!
Sure he will keep his head focused with confidence both for his Aussie and race fans as well as the few hundred staff working with Jack at Alpine for Team Enstone and Viry-Chatillon.
