Doohan on signing for Haas, his Alpine stint and what’s next

Jack Doohan has embarked on a fresh chapter with Haas as a reserve driver for 2026, following a challenging departure from Alpine. In an exclusive F1.com interview, the Australian reflected on a "tough period" where his dream of becoming an F1 racer at Alpine quickly soured, leading to his exit after just seven races amidst immense pressure. Doohan expressed gratitude for the valuable lessons learned from that experience, which he described as a "nightmare." Now, he's focused on supporting Haas's current drivers, Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman, and plans to maintain his race fitness through testing and potential endurance racing opportunities like ELMS or Le Mans. He is optimistic about enjoying racing again in a more welcoming environment.
