Jack Doohan reflects on a challenging 2025 season at Alpine, leading to his departure and new role at Haas F1 Team.
Jack Doohan's 2025 season with the Alpine F1 Team was fraught with difficulties, culminating in his replacement after just seven races. The pressure of performing was evident as he faced a critical point in his career, described by him as a 'nightmare.' Despite the challenges, Doohan has found a new opportunity as a reserve driver for Haas F1 Team for 2026, where he hopes to rebuild his career and overcome the obstacles faced at Alpine. Meanwhile, his relationship with the renowned F1 figure Flavio Briatore, who was instrumental in his initial placement at Alpine, serves as a backdrop to his experience of high expectations and subsequent disappointment in the competitive world of Formula 1.
