Jack Doohan became the first driver to graduate from the Alpine Academy into a full-time race seat in Formula One with BWT Alpine Formula One Team as he embarks on a full rookie campaign in 2025. Jack made his Formula One debut at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with the team in December 2024.

Born in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, Jack grew up with motorsport firmly etched in his DNA. As the son of five-time 500cc Motorcycle World Champion Mick Doohan, Jack soon picked up motorsport in the form of karting at the age of eight, thanks to a gift from family friend, 7-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher.

Although he enjoyed dirt bike riding in his younger years, Jack ultimately chose four wheels over two. He made his first foray into competitive karting in 2011, winning titles in Australia, as well as racing in the United States and Europe.

Jack stepped up to single seaters in 2018, finishing fifth in the British F4 Championship that year. He continued to climb up the single seater ladder, competing in Euroformula and the F3 Asian Championship in 2019, where he raced for Hitech, crossing paths for the first time with Oliver Oakes. Jack then stepped up to FIA Formula 3 in 2020, finishing runner-up in the Drivers’ Championship in 2021. At the end of that year, he had his first taste of FIA Formula 2 with MP Motorsport where, in only his second event in the category, qualified on the front row of the grid in Abu Dhabi. His performances earned him a spot on the Alpine Academy roster for 2022.

In his first full-time campaign in Formula 2, Jack immediately impressed with pole position at the season opening race in Bahrain. After three wins that year, he finished sixth in the Championship. In 2023, Jack made Formula 2 history becoming the first driver in the series to take pole position, race win, fastest lap, and to lead every lap of a Feature Race at the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix. He finished that season third in the driver standings after a dominant pole and Feature Race win in the season finale.

He was announced as the team’s Reserve Driver in 2023, serving in the position for two years where he contributed tirelessly in the team’s simulator at Enstone as well as taking part in the team’s Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) programme where he expanded his knowledge of driving a Formula One Car in preparation for a potential race seat.

Over the course of his time with BWT Alpine Formula One Team Jack has participated in six Free Practice sessions with the team from 2022-2024, and upon the announcement of his promotion to Formula One driver for the 2025 season he became the first Alpine Academy driver to graduate to the team’s full-time race seat.
