Alpine’s Brief Contender

Jack Doohan’s 2025 stint with Alpine was cut short after six races, with no points scored and a crash-heavy start. The Australian rookie’s pace was evident in practice sessions, but incidents, including a collision in China, led to his replacement by Franco Colapinto. His brief campaign showed flashes of potential.

The 22-year-old, a former Alpine reserve, brought Formula 2 experience but struggled with the A525’s lack of competitiveness. His qualifying pace occasionally matched teammate Pierre Gasly, hinting at untapped speed. Doohan’s departure leaves questions about his F1 future.

Now a reserve driver, Doohan’s focus is on rebuilding his case for a 2026 seat. His experience could position him for a return with Alpine or Cadillac.
