Jack Doohan
- Team Alpine
- Date of birth 20/01/2003
- Place of birth Gold Coast, Queensland
- Debut Abu Dhabi, 2024 (Alpine)
Jack Doohan debuting in Formula One at his home race in the first year Melbourne has hosted the season-opener since 2019 would have been a nice story, but the 22-year-old’s last-minute Abu Dhabi appearance last December will benefit him in the longer run.

Doohan hadn’t raced anything since leaving Formula 2, so getting his F1 feet wet in a low-pressure environment and dusting off the cobwebs away from the spotlight that will illuminate his first home GP was ideal. His preparation – pounding around tracks away from the public eye via Alpine’s Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) program – has kept his driving fitness sharp.
Doohan is thankful for the opportunity, ready to embrace it, and has a calm approach that will hold him in good stead. In a loaded rookie class, Doohan might not make the biggest waves, but there’s a chance he becomes the most dependable of the new faces.
