Jack Doohan has vowed to continue chasing his own “goals” despite🔜 being dropped from Alpine’s F1 c🍌ar.

Alpine have confirmed that reserve driver Franco Colapinto will immediately take ov𒉰er from the struggling Doohan, starting from the F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

But Colapint⛄o will have five races to impﷺress before Alpine will evaluate their line-up again.

Jack Doohan reaction to Alpine axing

Doohan ꦫreacted to his demotion: “I am very proud to have achieved my lifelong ambition to be a professional Formula One driver and I will forever be grateful to the team for helping me achieve this dream.

"Obviously, this latest chapt𓆉er is a tough one for me to take because, as a professional driver, naturally I want to b✱e racing.

“That said, I appreciate ꦺthe team’s trust and commitment. We have long-term goals as a team to achieve an🅰d I will continue to give my maximum efforts in any way I can to help achieve those.

🃏“For now, I will keep my head down, keep working hard, watch with interest the next five races and keep🐬 chasing my own personal goals.”

Doohan will dro﷽p into Colapinto’s old role as a reserve driver during the next five F1 rounds.

Australian driv🦄er Doohan, son of motor🅰cycle racing legend Mick, was competing in his rookie F1 campaign this year.

But it has potentially ended, depending upon Alpine’s next evaluation, after only six grands prix.

Doohan has failed to score a point during that time, prompting Flavioℱ Briatore to make a trademark ruthless call.

Doohan bettered teamma♕te Pierre Gasly in qualifying for the first time at last weeken🔯d’s F1 Miami Grand Prix but it wasn’t enough to keep him in their car.

Colapinto was signed as Alpine’s re༺serve driver after the team had a🌃lready confirmed Doohan for their 2025 F1 driver line-up.

Argentine driv𓆏er Colapinto was snapped up after an impressꦗive but short stint with Williams last year.
