“I’m very excited to be going into my second season with the Alpine Academy. Last year was a great first one together and I was welcomed very well by everyone, and I found my feet quickly at the team. It was great to branch out to the Formula 1 team at times, like at the private tests and on the simulator, and get to know people at the factory and on the race team. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve this year. The targets remain the same – to win the championship - and I have a great group of people around me to help reach the targets. I’ll do my best to act as a senior member of the programme and help some of the younger and new drivers on the Academy, especially at our training camps.”
Jack enters his second year with the Alpine Academy after a successful first season in 2022, where he competed his rookie season in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, highlighted by three wins, six podiums and three pole positions. The Australian scored 128 points across the campaign and repeatedly fought at the front, taking the fight for top rookie and a top three spot in the championship to the final race of the season.
After several years impressing in karting in his native Australia, Jack – son of five-time MotoGP world champion Mick - made the switch to single seaters in 2018 in the British F4 Championship. He took three wins and 12 podiums en-route to fifth in the championship and the first-placed rookie. Campaigns in the Italian F4 Championship and the ADAC F4 Championship yielded valuable experience for the young Australian. Two consecutive second places in the Asian F3 championships prepared Jack for the move to Formula 3 with HWA Racelab in 2020.
A swap to Trident Racing the season after produced incredible results with Jack claiming four wins and seven podiums, which propelled him to second in the championship. He joined MP Motorsport for the final two rounds of the 2021 Formula 2 Championship, qualifying a stunning second in Abu Dhabi. A full-time campaign in Formula 2 with Virtuosi Racing followed last year – finishing in sixth place – with numerous outstanding results including a dominant Feature Race win in Belgium. Jack took part in two FP1 outings for BWT Alpine F1 Team and participated in the post-Abu Dhabi Young Driver Test.
