Alpine have announced a new partnership ahead of the 2025 Formula 1 season in a first-of-its-kind collaboration.

The Enstone-based outfit have undergone many significant changes over the last few months, with their F1 driver lineup changing before the 2024 season had even concluded and rumours already circulating that it could be set for another reshuffle later this year.

As things stand, Alpine's F1 driver duo consists of experienced racer Pierre Gasly and rookie star Jack Doohan.

At the 2024 season finale in Abu Dhabi, Doohan, son of MotoGP legend Mick Doohan, was handed an early on-track debut, replacing former Alpine driver Esteban Ocon for the final round of the championship.

As if the Aussie star didn't have enough pressure riding on his performances following in the footsteps of a five-time 500cc motorcycle world champion, Doohan now has the added threat of being replaced midway through 2025, as Alpine recently welcomed Franco Colapinto to their ranks as a reserve driver.
