Thirty years after his father Mick Doohan won the first of five motorcycling world championships, Jack Doohan has signed with Alpine, joining compatriots Oscar Piastri and Daniel Ricciardo on the F1 circuit.
Son of a gun Jack Doohan has secured a berth on next year’s Formula 1 grid, giving Australia potentially three drivers at the top level for the first time in nearly half a century.
In another boost for motorsport in this country, Doohan, 21, is poised to make his F1 debut on home soil at next year’s Australian Grand Prix, which opens the 2025 season due to the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grands Prix being pushed back to accommodate Ramadan. The announcement on Friday that Doohan will partner Frenchman Pierre Gasly for Alpine had been widely expected in F1 circles. Doohan has been Alpine’s reserve driver since the start of last year after rising through the ranks in Formula 3 and Formula 2. The role had been formerly filled by Piastri before his graduation to the F1 grid with McLaren.Getty Images
