Jack Doohan made his full-time🦂 F1 debut with Alpine in 2025 after earning a promotion from his role as test and reserve driver.

But Jack, the son of motorcycle legend Mick Doohan, endured a tough first six grands prix where he failed to score a poin💞t.

Alpine's Flavio Briatore therefore made the call to replace Doohan with reserve driver Franco C🤡olapinto, swapping their roles.

Doohan had been plagued all year by rumours that Colapinto would inherit his race seat - an♏d they became true.

Doohan’s career in motorsport was kickstarted by a kart gifted to him by seven-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher. After finishing as runner-up in the F3 A▨sian Championship, Doohan made the step up to Formula 3 - two steps below F1.

The Australian finished as runner-up in 2021 following a poor rookie campaign, earning him a promotiꦰon to F2. Doohan showed flashes of immense pace throughout his two years in F2, taking six victories, but he was unable to ch♋allenge for the title.

After impressing Alpine in his role as their test and reserve driver, Doohan was handed his F1 debut at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, having signed for the team as Esteban Ocon’s replacement for 20⛄25.
