In a major shake-up, Alpine F1 Team has officially confirmed that Sergio Pérez will join the team, replacing reserve driver Jack Doohan. The announcement comes after weeks of speculation and mounting fan pressure, as Pérez’s future at Red Bull became increasingly uncertain.
Alpine released a statement this morning confirming the move, describing Pérez as “a proven race winner with the experience and determination to push Alpine forward.” Team principal Bruno Famin added, “We are thrilled to welcome Sergio. His skill, leadership, and resilience will be invaluable as we work to elevate Alpine’s competitiveness.”
The decision marks a significant pivot for Alpine, which had been grooming young talent like Doohan for a potential race seat. While Doohan has shown flashes of promise, the team ultimately opted for the security and expertise that Pérez brings, especially as Alpine looks to break into the top ranks of the constructors’ championship.
Pérez, 35, expressed excitement about the new chapter in his career. “I’m grateful to Alpine for this opportunity,” he said. “This team has tremendous potential, and I’m determined to help deliver the results they deserve.”
Fans across social media erupted in celebration following the announcement, many calling it a “dream move” and praising Alpine for listening to supporters’ calls.
Doohan, meanwhile, will continue to be part of the Alpine family, likely transitioning to a development or testing role as he continues to build his experience.
With Pérez now on board, Alpine’s ambitions for the upcoming season have taken a bold new turn.
