Jack Doohan's time at Alpine has officially come to an end. In recent hours, the French team confirmed through a statement that the Australian driver will not remain tied to the team during the 2026 Formula 1 season, after reaching a mutual agreement that will allow him to seek new directions in international motorsport.
"The BWT Alpine Formula One Team confirms that it has reached a mutual agreement with Jack Doohan to discontinue his services as a driver with the team for the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship season and allows him to seek other professional opportunities", the team reported on social media, bringing to an end a relationship that lasted four years.
Doohan had started the 2025 season as a main driver alongside Pierre Gasly, but his situation changed with the arrival of Franco Colapinto during the European winter due to poor performances. From the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix onward, the Argentine was designated as the lead driver and the Australian was relegated, in a context where his level ultimately failed to meet the team's internal expectations.
