Alpine and Jack Doohan have parted ways by mutual agreement, the team has confirmed.
The Australian was signed as a full-time driver for the 2025 season but made his Grand Prix debut at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after Esteban Ocon left the team early.
Doohan completed six weekends for Alpine in 2025 before eventually being replaced by Franco Colapinto. The Australian driver did not score a point during that time.

The team's statement reads: "BWT Alpine Formula One Team confirms it has reached a mutual agreement with Jack Doohan to not continue his driving services with the team for the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship season and allow him to pursue other career opportunities.

"Jack became the first member of the Alpine Academy to graduate into a race seat with the team when he made his Grand Prix debut at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
"The team would like to thank Jack for his commitment and professionalism to the team for the past four years, both on and off track, and wishes him all the best for the future."
