French Formula 1 driver Esteban Oconall but sealed his fate with the Alpine team when he ran into teammate Pierre Gasly at last week’s Monaco Grand Prix.
Alpine announced Monday that it will part ways with Ocon following the completion of the 2024 season.
But it appears that he won’t be a free agent for long, and American team Haas F1 could well be his new home.
Haas F1 Reportedly Negotiating With Esteban Ocon
Spanish Formula 1 outlet Formu1a.uno reports that Ocon and Haas have already begun negotiations.
“Esteban Ocon is emerging as an increasingly central player in the driver market,” Diaz states. “He is understood to have begun contract talks with Haas as he evaluates the different options for 2025.”
Jaden Diaz reports that Ocon is a rising candidate to replace current Haas driver Kevin Magnussen.
“Esteban Ocon is emerging as an increasingly central player in the driver market,” Diaz states. “He is understood to have begun contract talks with Haas as he evaluates the different options for 2025.”
Fellow Haas driver Nico Hulkenburg has already agreed to leave the team and join Sauber in 2025.
Current Ferrari Academy driver Oliver Bearman (who debuted in F1 earlier this season and scored points in place of Carlos Sainz following his appendectomy) is expected to replace Hulkenberg.
