Alpine part ways with Doohan ahead of 2026 season

Jack Doohan is officially parting ways with the Alpine F1 team ahead of the 2026 season, marking the end of a tumultuous tenure for the young Australian. After joining the Alpine Academy in 2022 and serving as a reserve driver, Doohan made an unexpected F1 debut at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He was then promoted to a full-time race seat for 2025 alongside Pierre Gasly, but his stint lasted only six rounds before he was replaced by Franco Colapinto. Demoted to test duties, Alpine has now confirmed a mutual agreement not to continue his services for 2026. The team thanked Doohan for his commitment, as speculation mounts regarding his next career move, potentially in Super Formula.
