Esteban Ocon’s Alpine successor has been finalized. After the French team announced they’ll part ways with Ocon in 2025, their reserve driver, Jack Doohan, was the favorite to replace the disgraced Frenchman. However, Alpine’s WEC driver and Michael Schumacher’s son Mick had an outside chance to upset the 21-year-old. Soon, both of them were thrown into the backseat as Carlos Sainz entered the contention. But the Ferrari driver announcing his multi-year Williams contract has finally settled the dust at Alpine.
As per auto motor & sport Sweden, Alpine has already released an internal press release announcing Jack Doohan as Pierre Gasly’s teammate for 2025. Not only should that make him 2025’s third rookie driver, alongside Haas’ Oliver Bearman, and Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli (yet to be confirmed), but also the third Australian, alongside McLaren’s Oscar Piasti and VCARB’s Daniel Ricciardo, whose contract is yet to be renewed.

After the Esteban Ocon exit announcement, Doohan had started mentally prepping to debut next year. Though he was wary of F1’s ‘uncertain’ nature, “My dream is to be on the grid, my dream is to be in Formula 1,” he emphasized for the Alpine bosses to hear. However, Mick Schumacher too was as determined as ever to mark his return to the pinnacle of motorsport. “F1 has always been a dream and it will always remain the dream,” the German said in January this year.
