Alpine has officially announced that Jack Doohan, their current reserve driver, will step up to a full-time Formula 1 seat in 2025, replacing Esteban Ocon. Doohan, a 21-year-old Australian and son of former 500cc motorcycle world champion Mick Doohan, will partner with Pierre Gasly, completing Alpine’s driver line-up for the next season.

Doohan’s promotion comes after a successful stint in Alpine’s academy, which he joined in 2022 after parting ways with the Red Bull junior program. His time in Formula 2 has been particularly impressive, with a third-place finish in the 2023 championship, where he secured three race wins. This follows his earlier success in Formula 3, where he finished as runner-up in 2021.

Speculation about Doohan’s promotion to Formula 1 has been growing throughout 2024, especially as it became clear that Ocon would be leaving Alpine to join Haas. Doohan’s consistent performance and potential have made him a strong candidate to move up to the top tier of motorsport, and Alpine’s decision confirms their confidence in his abilities as they look towards the future.

With Doohan joining Gasly, Alpine hopes to build a competitive partnership that can drive the team forward in the 2025 season.nfirm he will partner Gasly
