Jack Doohan has vowed 🧸to continue chasing his own “goals” despite being dropped from Alpine’s F෴1 car.

Alpine have confirmed that reserve d🌺river Franco Colapinto will immediately take over from the struggling Doohan, starting from the F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

B💎ut 🐓Colapinto will have five races to impress before Alpine will evaluate their line-up again.

Jack Doohan reaction to Alpine axing

Doohan𝄹 reacted to his demotion: “I am very proud to have achieved my lifelong ambition to be a professional Formula One driver and I will forever be grateful to the team for hel𓂃ping me achieve this dream.

"Obviously, this latest chapter is a tough one for ඣme to take because, as a professional driver, naturally I want to be racing.

“That said, I appreciate the team’s trust and commitment. We have long-term goals as a ﷽team to achieve and I will continue to give my maximum efforts in any way I can to help achieve those.

“For now, I will keep my head down, k🐽eep working hard, watch with interest the next five races and keep chasing my own personal goals.”

Doohan will drop into Colapinto’s ol♚d role as a reserve driver d✤uring the next five F1 rounds.

Australian driver Doohan, son of motorcycle racing legend Mick, was🎐 competing in his rookie F1 campaig༺n this year.

But it has potentially ended, depending upon Alpine’s next evaluation, after only six grands prix.

Doohan has failed to score a point during that 📖time, prompting Flavio Bri🌠atore to make a trademark ruthless call.

Doohan bettered teammate Pierre Gasly in qualifying for the first time at last weekend’s F1 Miami Grand Prix but it wasn’t enough ꦗto keep him in their car.

Co𒐪lapinto was signed as Alpine’s reserve driver after the team had already confirmed Doohan for their 2025 F1 driver lin♎e-up.

Argent𝐆ine driver Colapinto was snapped up after an impressive but short stint with Williams last year.
