Renowned motorcycle racer Mick, aged 59, is now celebrating his child’s entry into Formula 1 racing.
The MotoGP community has united to extend their congratulations to the joyful father and son.
Australian Remy Gardner, along with Fabio Quartararo, Loris Capirossi, Dani Pedrosa, Fabio di Giannantonio, and Raul Fernandez, were among those who extended their best wishes to both Doohan senior and junior.
Mick secured his place in history by winning five back-to-back 500cc world championships.
In 1998, Mick had the opportunity to test drive a Williams Formula 1 car and was also a good friend of Michael Schumacher.
Schumacher chose the name 'Mick' for his son to honor his respect for Mick Doohan.
Doohan is now more often seen in the F1 paddock than in the MotoGP paddock, as he monitors his son's progress.
For the last two seasons, Jack has served as a backup and test driver for Alpine, while also competing in Formula 2.
However, he has outperformed competitors including Mick Schumacher to earn a permanent F1 position with Alpine for the 2025 season.
The extraordinary racing skills of Doohan will now be carried on in a new form through his son Jack, who will be competing in car racing.
