Jack Doohan to Make Formula 1 Debut for Alpine at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

The 21-year-old Australian replaces Esteban Ocon, who exits early to prepare for his 2025 move to Haas.

Alpine has confirmed that reserve driver Jack Doohan will step in for Esteban Ocon at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, marking Doohan's Formula 1 debut.
Esteban Ocon, who is set to join Haas in 2025, was released early to participate in post-season testing with his new team at Yas Marina Circuit.
This decision allows Doohan, already announced as a full-time Alpine driver for 2025, to gain valuable race experience ahead of next season.
Alpine is locked in a tight battle for sixth place in the Constructors' Championship, holding a five-point lead over Haas going into the final race.
Doohan, son of motorcycle legend Mick Doohan, has been a reserve driver for Alpine throughout 2024 and finished third in the 2023 Formula 2 Championship.
