Axed F1 star Jack Doohan’s recent cryptic Instagram post has set the tongues of fans wagging about a potential Alpine departure. <\/p>\n
\nThe Australian star only competed in six races with Alpine at the beginning of the 2026 season, before being replaced by Franco Colapinto from Imola onwards<\/a>.
<\/p>\n \nDoohan failed to score a single point during his short tenure in F1, but his replacement also didn’t fare any better, and the pair finished the 2025 season<\/a> as the only two drivers not to score a point.
<\/p>\n \nWhile Doohan was maintained as a reserve driver throughout the 2025 season, having been a member of the Alpine academy since 2022, a recent social media post from the Aussie has given rise to speculation that this relationship may be coming to an end.
<\/p>\n Has Doohan left Alpine?<\/p>\n \nThe 22-year-old did not write a caption \u2013 creating uncertainty over the meaning of the post \u2013 but instead posted a series of pictures that could indicate a farewell<\/a>.
<\/p>\n \nSeveral pictures depicted Doohan hugging members of the Alpine team, another holding his contract, while also including moments of him on the F1 track.
<\/p>\n \nAlpine have not announced Doohan’s exit from the team, but this led to some fans in the comments suggesting that the post was a farewell from the Aussie.
<\/p>\n \nOne fan commented below the pictures: “You deserved so much more from 2025 Jack. You gave them 100 per cent every time, and you can hold your head up high. You took the high ground, and that will always count for a lot in all but a few people’s books.
<\/p>\n \n“Don’t give up, keep pushing, and we’ll see you racing again soon.”
<\/p>\n \nAnother added: “Oh Jack. You deserved so much better.”
<\/p>\n \nA third social media user wrote: “Us Aussies will always have your back.”
<\/p>\n \nThe official Australian and Mexicans Grands Prix accounts also posted messages of support, offering a simple heart emoji to the snubbed star.
