Reserve driver Jack Doohan will take the wheel of the A523 as Alpine completes its rookie run obligations.
Alpine reserve driver Jack Doohan will participate in Free Practice 1 for the Mexico City and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix as part of his rookie run obligations. This is in accordance with the rule that teams must run drivers with two or fewer races of experience in two first practice sessions during the season. Doohan, who currently sits fourth in the F2 Drivers’ standings, will drive the A523 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez and the Yas Marina Circuit, giving him his first taste of an official F1 weekend this year. He had previously run a similar program for the team following the Oscar Piastri contract situation last season. Doohan stated that he is honored to have this opportunity and is focused on fulfilling the team’s expectations during the two Grand Prix weekends. His performances in F2 have been impressive, with two race victories and two additional podium finishes. Interim Team Principal Bruno Famin expressed his satisfaction with Doohan’s work as the reserve driver and looks forward to his contribution during the practice sessions.
