Esteban Ocon has been dropped by the Haas Formula 1 team ahead of the Mexico Grand Prix, according to a report by Kieran Jackson of The Independent. The French driver's sudden departure raises questions about his future in the sport.
The decision comes as a shock early in the 2026 season, with Ocon having joined Haas for the current campaign. No immediate replacement has been announced by the American-owned team.
Ocon, a race winner with Alpine in 2021, now faces an uncertain path to secure a seat for the remainder of the season or beyond. Haas has not released an official statement detailing the reasons behind the move.
