Jack Doohan reflects on his decision to swap Red Bull for Alpine as the 'best' of his career so far. F1
Jack Doohan: Moving from Red Bull to Alpine ‘best decision of my career’Jack Doohan reckons his decision to swap Red Bull for Alpine was the “best” decision he could have made as the cards fell in his favour and he twice drove in an FP1 session.
Placed with Virtuosi Racing for the 2022 Formula 2 season, the Aussie claimed three race wins on his way to sixth place in the Drivers’ standings. He also made his Formula 1 race weekend debut with two FP1 outings in Mexico and Abu Dhabi. “I would no way be in this position of having two FP1s or driving an F1 car if I stayed where I was,” the 19-year-old said“I’m happy with my decision as I think it’s the best of my career so far; I was quite close to an F1 seat for next year, which is quite amazing.”
Stating that his “the main priority is to focus fully on Formula 2”, he added: “I could come around to all the F1 races, and be there, and sit there, but the likelihood of hopping in the car is low, so it would be taking a bit of time off my F2 commitments.
