00:03 Jack Doon, Reserve Driver at BWT Alpine F1 Team.
00:06 I'm really looking forward to it.
00:12 As a year being full-time Reserve Driver,
00:14 it's a big commitment on and off the track,
00:16 but I really look forward to contributing to the success of the team.
00:19 And I'm also just very grateful for the team, for their trust in with me,
00:24 going into our second season.
00:26 So, yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.
00:28 What are your plans for the 2024 season?
00:31 The 2024 season, I'll obviously be full-time at the races.
00:36 With that, I'll be also on the simulator on most Fridays,
00:39 every Friday that I can, doing the race sim support,
00:42 while also driving different generation Formula 1 cars of Alpine.
00:47 You know, typically the 2021 and 2022 car,
00:49 which will only add to my experience that I can help for the current generation of cars.
00:54 What are your plans for the 2024 season?
00:57 Staying sharp, you know, being obviously spending time at the factory,
01:00 spending time on the simulator.
01:01 I'll be doing 2024 development, but also race weekend development.
01:04 So, I'll be knowing what the guys are feeling, you know, in and out of the car,
01:09 plus an extensive testing program within the team.
01:12 So, yeah, I'm going to have quite a number of days in the car
01:15 and, you know, doing just as much driving probably as I would be as a race driver.
01:19 What do you think of the new Alpine F1 Team?
01:22 I think, you know, from an outside perspective,
01:24 they're not doing too much work so far and it looks really special.
01:27 I think we're going to have to wait to see going forward into the year,
01:31 especially at Bahrain, of where exactly we're sitting.
01:34 But, you know, I know the main thing is we're all working extremely hard here at the factory
01:38 to make sure we're going in the right direction.
01:40 So, everyone seems in a very good way and the morale seems very strong.
01:44 So, I look forward to getting on track.
