A plurality of F1 fans agree that Jack Doohan is the rookie most likely to lose his seat first once the 2025 season gets underway.
The Australian made his full F1 debut at the last year's final round, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in place of Esteban Ocon, who was jettisoned out the team early ahead of his switch to Haas.
However, there remains speculation that his drive is already under threat, with Franco Colapinto believed to be thought highly of by Team Enstone, amid rumours Doohan will have only a handful of rounds to impress once the season gets going.
Liam Lawson is another driver under pressure, as he will have to become accustomed to alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull.
In the recent poll by RacingNews365, almost a quarter of all respondents felt he would be demoted back to Racing Bulls before any of the other rookies lost their seats.
With Doohan claiming over 44%, the two drivers account for almost 70% of the overall vote. On the other end of the scale, Haas' Oliver Bearman procured a little of 1%, making the British driver the clear least likely option.
