Esteban Ocon's tenure at Haas will come to an end when the Formula One season concludes, the team confirmed. The French driver, who joined the US-based outfit from Alpine ahead of the 2025 campaign, has found the transition challenging in his maiden season with the squad.
Ocon currently sits 16th in the drivers' championship standings, trailing his teammate Oliver Bearman by 13 points. The performance gap has prompted the decision to part ways at season's end, with the team moving in a different direction for its future lineup.
The 30-year-old's departure marks another chapter in a career that has included stints at multiple Formula One teams. His exit from Haas comes as the sport continues its annual cycle of driver movements and team restructuring.
No announcement regarding Ocon's future plans beyond Haas has been made at this time. The remainder of the season will see him continue driving for the team as it pursues improvements in its competitive standing.
