Jack Doohan, born on January 20, 2003, in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, is an emerging talent in Formula 1. As the son of five-time Grand Prix motorcycle champion Mick Doohan, motorsport was in his DNA. Growing up on Australia's sunny coast, Jack’s fascination with racing began early, and by the age of nine, he was behind the wheel of his first go-kart—a gift from none other than seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher.
Doohan quickly found his footing in karting, capturing national championships in 2015 and 2016, and making a mark on the international karting scene by finishing third in the CIK-FIA European Championship and sixth in the World Championship in 2017.
In 2018, Doohan made his debut in single-seater racing, joining the F4 British Championship with TRS Arden Junior Racing Team. Competing alongside other future stars, he achieved three victories and finished fifth in the standings. His competitive spirit also took him to the ADAC and Italian Formula 4 Championships, gaining invaluable experience on diverse circuits.
After competing in the F3 Asian Championship, where he finished as a runner-up in consecutive seasons (2019 and 2020), Doohan progressed to the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2020 with HWA Racelab. Although his debut season was challenging, he made a striking comeback in 2021 with Trident, securing four wins and finishing second in the championship standings. This remarkable turnaround solidified his reputation as a formidable racer.
Jack Doohan’s journey through Formula 2 began in 2021 with a brief stint at MP Motorsport. He fully embraced the championship in 2022 and 2023 with Virtuosi Racing. Across these two seasons, Doohan claimed six victories and numerous podiums, finishing third in the 2023 standings. His ability to adapt and dominate in high-pressure scenarios highlighted his readiness for the pinnacle of motorsport.
Doohan joined the Alpine Academy in 2022 after parting ways with the Red Bull Junior Team. This strategic move provided him with opportunities to test Alpine's F1 machinery and immerse himself in the team's development programs. By 2023, he was Alpine’s official reserve driver, gaining valuable experience during practice sessions and tests.
In late 2024, Doohan made his highly anticipated Formula 1 debut at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, stepping in for Esteban Ocon. His performance marked the beginning of a new chapter, as Alpine confirmed Doohan as a full-time driver for the 2025 season alongside Pierre Gasly.
Known for his precise car control and relentless determination, Jack Doohan is regarded as one of the most promising talents of his generation. His adaptability across different racing disciplines and commitment to growth set him apart in a fiercely competitive field.
With a seat secured at Alpine, Doohan’s journey to establish himself in Formula 1 is just beginning. Fans eagerly anticipate his performances as he takes on the challenge of competing at the highest level of motorsport.
Jack Doohan’s story is a testament to hard work, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence. From karting prodigy to Formula 1 driver, his career trajectory serves as inspiration for young racers worldwide. As he steps into the 2025 season, all eyes are on this Australian phenom to see how he will shape his legacy in Formula 1.
