Jack Doohan is to replace Esteban Ocon at Alpine for the final grand prix of the season in Abu Dhabi this weekend.
Jack Doohan will replace Esteban Ocon at Alpine for the final grand prix of the season in Abu Dhabi this weekend.
The move to draft in Doohan early comes as part of a deal to allow Ocon to drive for his new team Haas in the post-season test at Abu Dhabi on 10 December. It gives Doohan, the son of five-time MotoGP champion Mick Doohan, a chance to gain experience of a grand prix weekend before next season’s first race, which is his home grand prix in Melbourne on 14-16 March.
Relations between Ocon and Alpine have soured this season, and the team made a decision not to continue with the Frenchman after he collided with Gasly on the first lap of the Monaco Grand Prix.
