Career analysis
Jack Doohan had a mixed junior career. He always showed potential with excellent qualifying performances and solid racecraft against other young drivers. But he always seemed to be haunted by bad luck in one way or another, from bad strategies in races to long-term chassis issues.
His second year in F3 was very strong and he was up to speed in F2 as well. In the 2023 Formula 2 season, he was the driver with the most feature race wins – and arguably the best racer of that year’s field, although not at the consistency level of Theo Pourchaire.
Finally given the chance to drive in F1, the big question is how many races Doohan will have to show his potential. Some sources say he’s on a 5-race contract, others say he has the entire year. But with fellow youngsters Franco Colapinto and Paul Aron waiting to get their shot, and team “advisor” Flavio Briatore seeming very interested in promoting Colapinto, Doohan must impress instantly and at least get close to teammate Pierre Gasly.
If his peaks from F2 are anything to go by, he can possibly perform well. And before we’re too hard on Doohan, remember that fellow rookies Oliver Bearman and Isack Hadjar also had their struggles in F2 and F3 with occasional great races but the same inability to put together a full championship campaign.
