1996 F1 world champion Damon𒐪 Hill believes Jack Doohan will b🌊e “so well prepared” for his likely debut with Alpine in 2025.

Doohan is reportedly the favourite to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon at Alpine.

The Australian has been part of the Alpine stable for the last couple of years, playing a crucial role in the simulator 🐟and as reserve driver.

He’s enjoyed an intensive testing programme for the 𒐪team as he prepares for a likely F1 debut.

Alpine had hoped to convince 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz to join, but the Spaniard opted for Williams.

Doohan is widely accepted as the front-runner to replace Ocon next year, teaming up with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly.

Sp♈eaking on the , Hill offered his view on Doohan.

“Jack is a very professional driver,” he said. “He acquitted himself well. He’s shown that he can race. He’s smart and inquisitive. He seems to be there asking all the questions - doing🌠 the groundwork with the team.

“He will definitely be an in🐬teresting guy to give a crack to. He’s yet to have proven credentials in F1 like Oꦫllie Bearman who’s jumped in the car and done a race. A lot of these guys are capable.

“They🎶’re so well prepared they won’t have a problem when they get into F1.”

Dooha♚n’s chances have been boosted due to the lack of viable alternat🧔ive options.

In terms of the current drivers available, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu could be an opti♑on, particularly given his Chinese link🐼s.

Although, his form in 2024 alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas - the best alternative to Doohan -꧅ has꧟ been woeful.

Bruno Famin, who recently stepped down as Alpine team boss, admitted before the summer break that the team is “preparing” Doohan as🗹 a possible full-time driver in 2025.

“We’re preparing him,” he explained. “H꧅e has a quite heavy testing prog♊ramme, and we are happy with that.

“Let’s see how h𒐪e develops. He’s one possibility among others, but he’s ﷺone possibility for sure.”
