Jack Doohan

Jack Doohan will make his full-time F1 debut with Alpine in 2025 after earning a promotion from his role as test and reserve driver.

Jack, the son of motorcycle legend Mick Doohan, will be under immediate pressure to perform at Alpine as rumours swirl about his future. Alpine executive advisor Flavio Briatore has expressed interest in signing Williams reserve driver Franco Colapinto, who impressed during his short F1 stint, having replaced Logan Sargeant.

Doohan’s career in motorsport was kickstarted by a kart gifted to him by seven-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher. After finishing as runner-up in the F3 Asian Championship, Doohan made the step up to Formula 3 - two steps below F1.

The Australian finished as runner-up in 2021 following a poor rookie campaign, earning him a promotion to F2. Doohan showed flashes of immense pace throughout his two years in F2, taking six victories, but he was unable to challenge for the title.

After impressing Alpine in his role as their test and reserve driver, Doohan was handed his F1 debut at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, having signed for the team as Esteban Ocon’s replacement for 2025.
