Jack Doohan is an Australian racing driver who competes in the European Le Mans Series and serves as a Haas F1 reserve. He has also raced in Formula One (2024–2025) and is the son of motorcycle champion Mick Doohan. Recent news covers Alpine extending Colapinto’s deal, F1’s 50/50 rules debate, and Doohan receiving death threats before last season’s Alpine exit.
Drivers have criticised 2026 regulations that split power 50/50 between internal combustion and electrical units, saying energy-management rules have forced slower, less exciting racing. Lando Norris has said commercial aims — and manufacturers such as Audi entering the sport — have driven the changes, and drivers say they have had little say in rulemaking.
Alpine has extended Franco Colapinto’s contract through 2028, keeping the Argentine driver alongside Pierre Gasly. Colapinto has earned a career-best sixth at the Canadian Grand Prix and sits on 19 points this season as Alpine solidifies its driver lineup amid a push to improve performance.
