El regreso de Duen al volante del Alpine F1 se ha frustrado.

      Jack Duén disputó seis carreras con Alpine al inicio de la temporada, tras lo cual fue reemplazado. Formalmente, por resultados insuficientemente altos; en realidad, al director del equipo, Flavio Briatore, le apetecía mucho poner a Franco Colapinto al volante y atraer a sus patrocinadores, cosa que hizo. Los resultados de Colapinto no fueron mejores que los de Duén: ambos no tienen ni un solo punto en la presente temporada.

      Según The Race, antes y después del parón veraniego en Alpine F1 ofrecieron a Duén volver al volante para las tres últimas carreras —en Las Vegas, Catar y Abu Dabi—, pero con la condición de que encontrara financiación. Jack y sus patrocinadores encontraron ese dinero, pero el regreso no se produjo.

      La razón: uno de los patrocinadores de Colapinto, la marca Mercado Libre, prorrogó el contrato hasta final de temporada con la condición de que su piloto permaneciera.

      Duén sigue considerando que un asiento en Alpine es la opción preferible para 2026, aunque Briatore dijo que la decisión dependería de los acuerdos con Colapinto y con el piloto reserva Paul Aron. Además, a Duén se le apartó de participar en test con monoplazas de años anteriores; tras su despido corrió únicamente con monoplazas de las categorías juveniles por su cuenta.

      Duén habló con representantes de Cadillac, Williams, Haas y Sauber, pero lo más probable es que pase 2026 en calidad de piloto reserva y de pruebas de uno de los equipos, con mínimas posibilidades de volver a ponerse al volante.

The meeting also included Selma del Toro, whose blog is dedicated to Formula 1 — she aspires to be one of the local influencers.
