Esteban Ocon to leave Haas at end of 2026 F1 season amid uncertain future

Haas and Ocon confirm parting of ways

Esteban Ocon will leave Haas at the end of the 2026 Formula 1 season, with both the driver and team confirming the news on Wednesday. The departure brings an end to a two-year spell with the American-owned squad, which the Frenchman joined from Alpine ahead of the 2025 campaign.

What's next for the Frenchman?

With no new deal announced, Ocon looks set to be without a drive for the 2027 Formula 1 season. The 29-year-old, a race winner in F1, will now be the subject of intense speculation as the driver market shifts into gear ahead of next year's championship.

The confirmation lands as the paddock turns its attention to Formula 1's return to Malaysia, with Sepang hosting the Bahrain Grand Prix. Coverage begins from Friday morning live on Sky Sports F1.
