F1 star leaves team ahead of 2026 season as official statement issued
Alpine F1 driver Jack Doohan has officially parted ways with the team for the upcoming 2026 season, following his removal mid-2025 after just six races.
Despite starting his rookie season with Alpine, Doohan was replaced by Franco Colapinto midway through the season, prompting his decision to step away from racing for the remainder of 2025.
Confirming their mutual agreement to part ways, Alpine expressed gratitude for Doohan’s dedication during his four-year tenure, acknowledging his debut at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as a significant moment for the team.
Looking ahead, speculations suggest a potential move to Super Formula for Doohan in 2026, despite facing challenges at the post-season test in Japan, hinting at a fresh start and possible involvement as a reserve driver at Haas.
As Doohan explores new career opportunities, his journey beyond Alpine promises exciting possibilities in both Super Formula and a potential role with the Haas F1 Team for the upcoming season.
