Haas and Esteban Ocon have jointly confirmed that the French driver will part ways with the American-owned squad at the conclusion of the 2026 Formula 1 season. Ocon joins the team following his departure from Alpine ahead of the 2025 campaign, and his exit marks the end of a two-year stint.
The announcement leaves Ocon without a confirmed ride for the 2027 season. Both parties verified the departure, though no further details regarding a potential replacement or Ocon’s next move have been disclosed.
Where does he go from here? Alpine rejected him once, and I doubt any top seat is open for 2027.
Ocon had some great moments at Haas. It’s surprising they’re parting ways so amicably given the team’s struggles.
