Ocon to leave Haas at the end of 2026
Formula1.com, Reuters and BBC report the driver's planned departure; no next team is confirmed here.
Esteban Ocon will leave Haas at the end of the 2026 season, according to Formula1.com and corroborating reports from Reuters, published by Sportstar, and BBC Sport on September 30.
The reports describe an end-of-season departure, not an immediate withdrawal from the current campaign. Reuters says Haas confirmed the split in a separate statement. This summary does not turn that announcement into a claim that a replacement has already been chosen.
Ocon joined Haas in 2025 after driving for Alpine. His next team is not established by the announcement cited here. A confirmed exit and speculation about a future seat are different categories of information, and ScoreZaap is reporting only the confirmed departure.
The driver-market development is separate from a race result. A team announcement does not change a previously completed Grand Prix result or establish what will happen at the next event. ScoreZaap will distinguish later confirmed announcements from speculation.
This is an original sourced summary, without invented quotations or an interview attributed to ScoreZaap. Further driver-market announcements may change the outlook, but this article does not predict them. Use the official and corroborating reports below to check the announcement.
