Asian Winter Series
Jack Doohan has collected two podiums in his Formula 3 debut in the Asian Winter Series at Sepang.
Having recently turned 16 years old, Doohan made his first start on the final weekend of the three-round series and finished second in Races 7 and 8 of the season.
In the former, he didn’t have the pace for winner Ye Yifei but staved off Rinus VeeKay, before the top two was repeated in Race 8.
Doohan stole the lead at the start of Race 9 but ended up 14th after contact with Ye later in the race as they battled for first position.
The setback for Ye saw that VeeKay would win the series with a third placing in the final race.
