From Alpine to Haas
Already during this summer Jack Doohan was very clear about his primary goal: to return to Formula 1 as an official driver for the next season. A milestone that, for the Australian, could be the ideal chance to erase his negative experience at Alpine dating back to early 2025 and to demonstrate his true potential. Currently, the 23-year-old holds the role of third driver for Haas, but the first step for an actual return could take place after the first edition of the Spanish GP in Madrid.

Test with Hirakawa
The American team, in fact, will remain in Spain to allow Doohan to carry out a private test session on the Jerez de la Frontera circuit. Also in this case, the test will be a TPC test (Test Previous Cars), and it could be the opportunity to ‘challenge’ other drivers candidates for their Formula 1 debut next season also with the American team, where Esteban Ocon’s stay as teammate to Oliver Bearman is seriously in question.

The competition, in fact, is solid: it ranges from the Japanese ‘colleague’ Ryo Hirakawa, also a reserve driver for Haas and also present in Spain, to the Brazilian Rafael Camara, who has already taken to the track at the wheel of a Ferrari in a test session and is a flagship of the Cavallino Rampante Driver Academy. Also not to be forgotten is Leonardo Fornaroli. The Piacenza native, like Camara, has carried out the first test sessions in Portimão, in this case with McLaren.
