Jack Doohan Faces Immediate Pressure to Secure Alpine Seat, Says F1 Pundit
Jack Doohan is reportedly under significant pressure to secure his place at Alpine for the 2025 Formula 1 season, according to expert opinions from Formula 1 pundit Anthony Davidson. Doohan, one of the four rookies making their F1 debut in 2025, joins Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, and Gabriel Bortoleto as newcomers to the grid.
Davidson, a former F1 driver and now a respected commentator, expressed concerns about Doohan’s position, suggesting that the young Australian driver needs to perform well quickly in order to avoid the risk of being replaced early. While it’s common for rookies to face intense competition in their debut season, the added pressure on Doohan stems from the high expectations surrounding Alpine’s driver line-up. Alpine is known for its strong driver development program and has a history of quickly promoting or replacing drivers based on performance.
Doohan’s move to Formula 1 comes after a promising career in lower categories, including success in Formula 2, where he established himself as a competitive force. However, stepping into a top-tier team like Alpine brings its own set of challenges, especially in a sport as demanding and performance-driven as Formula 1. With such a competitive field of rookies, any early mistakes or underwhelming performances could jeopardize Doohan’s future with the team.
The 2025 season will see several other talented drivers making their F1 debuts, including the aforementioned Antonelli, Hadjar, and Bortoleto, each of whom has garnered attention for their skills in various junior categories. Their inclusion in the sport only heightens the stakes for Doohan, who must prove himself as a capable driver capable of securing his place and performing consistently at the highest level.
Alpine’s approach to driver management has been under scrutiny in recent years, with several notable changes to their driver roster. As a result, the pressure on Doohan to perform is intense, and Davidson believes that the team is unlikely to hesitate in making adjustments if Doohan’s performances do not meet expectations early in the season.
With the 2025 season rapidly approaching, all eyes will be on the four rookies, and particularly on Doohan, to see if he can rise to the challenge and secure his future with Alpine.
