Formula 1 driver Esteban Ocon has been dropped by the Haas team ahead of the Mexico Grand Prix, according to a report by Kieran Jackson of The Independent on October 31, 2026. The move marks a sudden end to Ocon's tenure with the American-owned squad during the 2026 season.
Details surrounding the decision remain limited, but the early termination raises questions about Ocon's immediate future in the championship. The French driver, a race winner with Alpine in 2021, joined Haas for the 2026 campaign after stints with Manor, Force India, Renault, and Alpine.
Haas has not yet announced a replacement for the remaining rounds of the season. The team currently sits in the midfield battle, and the driver change could impact their constructors' championship standing.
