Jack Doohan has signed for Alpine for 2025 F1 season.
Doohan has spent the 2024 season as Alpine’s Test and Reserve driver in which he has driven in FP1 in Canada and Great Britain, having previously been the FP1 driver in Mexico and Abu Dhabi in last two seasons.
“I am so happy to secure promotion into a full-time race seat in 2025 with BWT Alpine F1 Team,” commented Doohan. “I am very grateful for the trust and belief by the team’s senior management.
“There is so much work ahead to be prepared and ready and I will give my best in the meantime to absorb as much information and knowledge to be ready for the step up.
“It’s exceptionally satisfying to be the first graduate of the Alpine Academy to be in a race seat with the team and I’m extremely thankful to those who supported me along the way to make this a reality.”
Alpine Team Principal, Oliver Oakes added that he can’t wait to see Doohan in the car next season.
“We are very excited to promote Jack into the race seat from next season and, in doing so, giving him the opportunity to showcase his skill and talent in Formula 1,” said Oakes.
“Jack will become the first driver to graduate from the Alpine Academy into a race driver position with the team, so that is exceptionally pleasing for the team and its young driver pathway.”
Oakes previously worked with Doohan in F3 Asia in 2019 and 19-20 seasons so knows that the 21 year-old Aussie has earned this chance on merit.
“Personally, I have worked with Jack back in 2019 and I am fully aware of his raw talent and potential. He is a very hard worker behind the scenes and his commitment is hugely valued by the entire team.”
Doohan won two titles in Australian Karting Championship at KA levels in 2015 & 16 before he made his single-seater debut in 2018 in British F4 where he took three wins en-route to fifth in the championship.
He proceeded to finish runner-up in 2019 F3 Asian Championship then again a year later, followed by two seasons in F3 with HWA Racelab then Trident, with whom he went on to finish as vice-champion in 2021 with four wins.
Doohan made his F2 bow in the last two rounds of 2021 with MP Motorsport before he moved to Virtuosi for two seasons, where he delivered six wins and five poles and finished third in last season’s standings.
