Jack Doohan Promoted to Full-Time Driver at Alpine for 2025 Season

Posted : 23 August 2024

Australian driver Jack Doohan will be promoted to a race seat at Alpine for the 2025 Formula One season, as announced by the Renault-owned team on Friday. Doohan, who has been serving as a reserve driver for Alpine this year, will replace Esteban Ocon, who is set to depart the team when his contract concludes at the end of 2024. This move marks a significant step in Doohan's career, as he transitions from a reserve role to a full-time driver.

 

Doohan, the son of MotoGP legend Mick Doohan, will join Pierre Gasly, who was already confirmed as a driver for the upcoming season. Alpine highlighted that this pairing of Gasly and Doohan will bring a mix of youth and experience to the team, aiming to create a balanced lineup as they work towards future success. This announcement also underscores Alpine's commitment to nurturing talent from their Academy, with Doohan becoming the first driver from the program to secure a race seat with the team.

 

At 21 years old, Doohan finished third in the 2023 Formula Two championship and has participated in several Formula One rookie free practice sessions this year. His promotion to a race seat comes with high expectations, and Doohan expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and confidence shown by Alpine's senior management. He acknowledged the challenges ahead and his dedication to preparing thoroughly for this new role.

 

The announcement follows a turbulent period for Alpine, which included a notable collision between Ocon and Gasly at the Monaco Grand Prix. Currently, Alpine is eighth in the Constructors' Championship standings with 11 points from 14 races. As the team looks to improve its performance, the addition of Doohan is seen as a strategic move to enhance their competitiveness in the future.
