The output of Jack Doohan of Alpine Keep talking. The Australian gave him his car Formula 1 a Franco frankntoto. And, beyond the joy reactions that were recorded in Argentina, others question the decision. One of them is nothing less than Mick Doohanthe multiple MotoGP champion.
It is not anyone who speaks. The last name Doohan in Australia is closely related to motor sport. Mick, Jack’s father, is a real celebrity: he was five times MotoGP champion and is part of the motorcycling hall in Australia.
Beyond the arguments Mick Doohan, Jack’s debut in Formula 1 was not auspicious. In six championship races only accumulated disappointments: two dropouts (the first at the premiere in Australia and the last in Miami this weekend) and 13th, 15th, 14th and 17th posts. He also suffered a terrible accident at high speed in the Suzuka classification. And in the two sprint races that were played, it also had no good results.
In the last hours, Jack Doohan was a victim of criticism and memes, and, after the euphoria that was lived in Argentina for the entrance of Franco Colapinto to the second car of Alpine, the former motorcyclist went out to bank his son.
And, although Jack’s performance was bad, Pierre Gasly’s was not outstanding. Doohan Padre demonstrated it in a very simple way: comparing the results of one pilot.
In Australia, at the start of the 2025 season, Jack Doohan left and his partner arrived in the 11th place, to a place of adding. The next GP was in China: Doohan was 13 and Gasly again 11. Japan: the Rookie arrived in 14th position and Gasly 13. In Bahréin, the Australian was 15 and French 7, adding his first points. Saudi Arabia: 17 and abandonment. Miami, the drop that overwhelmed the glass: JD left the race and Gasly arrived again 13.
Beyond Mick’s defense A Jack, MotoGP champion seems to point to Alpine A525. A car that seems not to live up to it. The same one that assured Franco Colapinto for just five races.
