Jack Doohan joins Haas F1 Team as Reserve Driver for 2026

Haas F1 Team has confirmed that Jack Doohan will join the team as Reserve Driver for the 2026 Formula 1 season.

Doohan will share duties with Ryo Hirakawa after serving the same role with Alpine during the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons.

The Australian competed in the opening rounds of the 2025 F1 campaign after finishing the 2023 F2 season third overall.

Speaking about his signing with Haas, Doohan said that he was eager to get to work with the team ahead of the 2026 season getting underway.

"I’m thrilled to be joining TGR Haas F1 Team,” he said. “It’s the ideal place to continue my Formula 1 career. I would like to thank the team for giving me the opportunity to grow and take on the great challenge of 2026 together. I’m eager to begin working with the team and collaborating on a successful season."

Haas Team Principal Ayao Komatsu added: “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 1.

“The dedication required to remain sharp and prepared to race while getting to know how the team works and so on, it’s challenging for any driver – especially one who’s obviously still very keen to race again at this level. I’ve enjoyed getting to know Jack and we’re looking forward to welcoming him into the team and benefiting from his contributions.”
