Meanwhile, Doohan has very little to show for it as he only has 6 points to his name this season so far. Alpine’s three-day test at Losail, which is being led with the group’s 2021 vehicle, started off on Wednesday. It even featured the French outfit’s reserve driver Oscar Piastri who was on track on Thursday.
