2. Jack Doohan's Junior Journey

The Australian finished fifth overall with 12 podiums, including three wins and the lead in the rookie standings.

In 2020, Doohan joined HWA Racelab to progress in FIA Formula 3 alongside Jake Hughes and Enzo Fittipaldi. His season was summed up by a succession of incidents and technical problems which did not allow him to score any points. Despite a 26th position, he took part in the post-season tests with Trident, a team he joined for the 2021 season. The young Aussie joined forces with Clément Novalak and David Schumacher to win the teams' title as well as second place in the drivers' standings with 179 points.

After taking part in post-season testing, he joins Virtuosi Racing with Marino Sato in 2022.

4. AutoHebdo's opinion on Jack Doohan

Managed by a historical close friend of Flavio Briatore, Jack Doohan has a certain talent, but the extent of it remains to be proven. The Australian has shown in his past years in the promotional formula that he can be very fast over a lap. Nevertheless, he has room for improvement regarding his race pace. With his competitive mentality inherited from his father, Michael Doohan, five-time 500cc Moto champion, this very polite and well-educated boy has all the cards in hand to surprise.
