Alpine has confirmed that Jack Doohan, their reserve driver, will be moving up to a race seat alongside Pierre Gasly in the 2025 season. Doohan, a 21-year-old Australian, has been focused on reserve duties this season after a strong performance in Formula 2 last year and several FP1 outings for Alpine. He is the first Alpine Academy driver to progress directly into a race seat with the team and joins rookie Oliver Bearman at Haas on the 2025 grid. Doohan expressed his happiness and gratitude for the promotion, highlighting the hard work ahead to be fully prepared for the step up. The decision to promote Doohan was announced by the new team principal Oliver Oakes, who praised Doohan’s work in the simulator and testing. Doohan will continue as reserve driver for the current season and participate in further tests with the 2022 Alpine as part of the team’s development program.
