Haas appoints Jack Doohan as reserve driver for 2026 F1 season

TGR Haas Formula One (F1) Team along with Jack Doohan, 23 year old Australian driver and son of MotoGP legend Mick Doohan. Have announced Doohan as an official reserve driver for the 2026 F1 World Championship. He joins existing reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa supporting the team’s race line up of Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman.

Doohan arrives after a turbulent 2025 season with Alpine, where he raced six Grand Prixs before being replaced and returning to a reserve role.

Jack Doohan, TGR Haas F1 Team Reserve Driver said: “I would like to thank the team for giving me the opportunity to grow and take on the great challenge of 2026 together.”

Doohan’s Super Formula plans collapsed after he was unable to secure a seat, leaving him available for an F1 reserve opportunity.

Haas provides him with a platform to continue his F1 career, remain active within the paddock and position himself for a potential full time seat in future seasons.

Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal TGR Haas F1 Team said: “I’m personally very excited to have Jack join us on the team given the strength of his racing resume and of course his experience in being a reserve driver in Formula One.”

Doohan described Haas as “the ideal place to continue my Formula One career.”
