Australian Jack Doohan will make his Formula One debut for Alpine at next weekend's Abu Dhabi season-ender, as a replacement for the departing Esteban Ocon.



The Renault-owned team confirmed the move on Monday, saying Ocon had been released early to join Haas and would be replaced by the outfit's reserve driver Doohan, the 21-year-old son of Australian motorcycle racing great Mick.


Doohan has already been announced as one of Alpine's two drivers for next year, alongside Frenchman Pierre Gasly, with the 2025 season to start in Melbourne.


Alpine said Doohan would carry his registered reserve driver number of 61, and would participate in the end-of-season test for the team at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit.


Team boss Oliver Oakes had on Sunday said Alpine was keen to "get Jack in early" and that "from Esteban's side, it's good to move on early".


Ocon's early exit will allow him to test for Haas in Abu Dhabi after the season-ender.
