Great start to the day at this masterpiece of a Spa circuit as Jack Doohan wins the Formula 2 feature race. Up to fourth in the championship with that— Chris Medland (@ChrisMedlandF1) “We were both extending the stint and it seemed like you know, our pace was quite similar.

It's far more likely he'll spend another season in F2, where if he performs strongly he might make his way onto the grid for 2024.

Like Piastri, Doohan is signed to the Alpine Driver Academy. He signed with the Alpine Junior Academy for the start of 2022, and moved to the Virtuosi Racing squad for a full-time F2 campaign. But a move to the ultra-competitive Trident team for 2021 yielded four wins and two poles, before he was given a go in F2 machinery with MP Motorsport for the last two meetings of last year.
