What happened: Ocon joined Haas from Alpine for 2025 and paired with Oliver Bearman across 2025 and 2026. The replacement remains unannounced for the American squad.
Why it matters: The split ends a two-season stint after a disappointing 18-month run for the one-time grand prix winner. Haas now carries an open seat into the 2027 market.
By the numbers: Baku 2026: Ocon P8 for Haas. Tenure: 2025-2026, two seasons alongside Bearman; joined from Alpine; age 30.
What to watch: Watch for Haas to confirm Ocon's replacement before the 2026 campaign closes.
