Overview
- Mick Doohan, speaking to Marca on Monday in Barcelona, called Alpine’s handling of his son Jack’s exit from Formula 1 “unfair.”
- He said Jack had a long‑term deal as Alpine’s first junior to reach F1 and argued the team chose a different direction before the 2025 season began.
- Alpine replaced Jack after six rounds of the 2025 season with reserve driver Franco Colapinto, and Jack left the team at the start of 2026.
- Jack has begun the 2026 European Le Mans Series with Nielsen Racing and now serves as a reserve driver for Haas.
- The story has drawn added scrutiny after Jack said on Netflix’s Drive to Survive that he received death threats before the 2025 Miami Grand Prix.
