Jack Doohan announces his Formula 1 race number after Andrea Kimi Antonelli took his original option
Jack Doohan has revealed his Formula 1 race number, after his initial choice had to be changed because Andrea Kimi Antonelli had already taken it. The Australian, who is stepping up to Alpine in 2025 as team-mate to Pierre Gasly, had first lodged a request to run with #12 after being told by the FIA that it was available. However, it subsequently emerged that #12 had been taken by Mercedes driver Antonelli – which meant Doohan needed to go for something different.
“I'm really looking forward to continuing it on and making it my own. And yeah, getting some luck from number seven.” Doohan raced with the #7 when he competed for Double R Racing in the Euroformula Open Championship in 2019. Under Formula 1's current sporting regulations, drivers have to choose a permanent number that they keep for their entire F1 career. Numbers only become available if a driver's F1 career is deemed to have ended after two full seasons out of grand prix racing.
