An intense amount of scrutiny upon Jack Doohan ahead of his rookie campaign in Formula 1 means the Australian must prove his worth alongside Pierre Gasly at Alpine in 2025.
“Alpine faced challenges in 2024, resulting in significant personnel changes, including Flavio Briatore returning as Executive Advisor and Oliver Oakes becoming Team Principal. The decision to switch to Mercedes engines in 2026 marked a new direction for the team. Despite turmoil, Alpine improved from ninth to sixth in the standings, boosted by upgrades and strong performances towards the end of the season. The focus now shifts to 2025, where drivers like Doohan will need to prove themselves to secure their future with the team. Gasly’s solid performances in 2024 set a high bar for his consistency and success in the upcoming season.”
