Formula 1: Aussie Jack Doohan will become the latest Australian to secure a Formula 1 seat, as he joins Alpine in 2025.
Jack Doohan says he wants to use his final months as Alpine’s reserve drive to wrap the team around him and adapt the car to his driving style to ensure he can hit the ground running in 2025.
This year he has forgone a racing program in favour of fully embedding himself in the F1 operation, deepening that connection. “To be honest, I’ve just been making sure that I’m driving like both the main drivers are at this point in time for the simulator, making sure I’m making the most of that,” he said.
The gamble paid off for the Queenslander, whose industriousness off-track impressed the team enough to earn him the full-time drive, but it’s also paid big dividends for Alpine after its worst start to a season since its return to the sport in 2016. Unsurprisingly it was in Monaco, the second European race of the year, that Alpine made its first Q3 appearance of the season, with Gasly converting to collect just the team’s second point of the campaign.
