Jack Doohan has finally left the Alpine Formula 1 team, eight months after losing his race seat
Jack Doohan has officially departed from the Alpine Formula 1 team, following his loss of the race seat six races into his rookie season. Alpine and Doohan mutually agreed to part ways to allow him to explore other career opportunities for 2026. Despite being relegated to a reserve role with minimal activities, Doohan was seeking a move away from Alpine due to lack of future prospects within the team. His successor, Franco Colapinto, replaced him and will continue to hold the seat for the upcoming season. Doohan is anticipated to compete in Japan’s Super Formula championship this year and may pursue a different F1 testing or reserve role post-Alpine, potentially with the Kondo team paired with a position at Haas.
