F1 Grand Prix, GP Brazil, Autódromo José Carlos Pace, Interlagos

Having made his F1 debut at last year's season-closing race in Abu Dhabi, Jack Doohan has now completed his seat fit with the Enstone-based Alpine F1 team.

The upcoming season will see six rookie drivers make their F1 debut, with Liam Lawson, Jack Doohan, Gabriel Bortoleto, Isack Hadjar, Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Oliver Bearman.

Doohan will join the already signed and announced Pierre Gasly to form the team’s driver pairing for next season, becoming the first Alpine Academy prospect to graduate into a race seat with the team.

The 21-year-old Australian – son of the legendary five-time 500cc motorcycling world champion – Mick Doohan – has served as the team’s Reserve Driver for the past two years after a successful junior career in international single-seater racing.

Doohan has been a member of the Alpine Academy since 2022 after having been part of the Red Bull Junior Team. The 22-year-old driver served as a reserve driver for Alpine in 2023 and 2024,

The Australian made his F1 debut at last season's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, replacing Esteban Ocon at the Yas Marina Circuit. He was promoted to a full-time seat in 2025, replacing Ocon to partner Pierre Gasly.

The Queensland-born driver, who will race with the starting number 7 this year, has now completed his seat fit at Alpine's Enstone-based headquarters.
