Doohan began his competitive karting career in 2012 after receiving his first kart from his former neighbour, seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher. He went on to win the Australian Karting Championship in both 2015 and 2016. The following year, Doohan continued to perform, finishing third in the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship and securing sixth place in the World Championship.
Before being confirmed as Apline’s second driver for the 2025 F1 Season, Doohan had gained extensive experience in F1 cars with Alpine over three seasons, preparing for a potential opportunity. He took part in numerous private tests and appeared in multiple FP1 sessions, including in Mexico and Abu Dhabi in both 2022 and 2023, as well as in Canada and Britain in 2024.
Doohan had been constantly linked to a potential promotion within Alpine throughout 2024, with speculation intensifying after the announcement that Esteban Ocon would depart for Haas in 2025. As the paddock gathered at the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix to begin the second half of the season, Alpine confirmed that their test and reserve driver, Doohan, would be the one to step up.
Jack is the son of Mick Doohan, a multiple 500cc World Champion in Moto GP.
