Haas has removed Esteban Ocon from its Formula 1 driver lineup for the rest of the 2026 season following a dispute, according to a report from BBC F1 correspondent Andrew Benson.
The French driver, who joined the American-owned team for the current campaign, will not participate in the remaining grands prix. The decision comes after what sources describe as a "row" between Ocon and the team, though specific details of the disagreement have not been disclosed.
Haas has not yet announced a replacement for the remaining races. The team currently sits in the constructors' championship with both drivers contributing points earlier in the season.
Ocon, a race winner with Alpine in 2021, moved to Haas on a multi-year deal ahead of the 2026 season. His early departure marks a significant mid-season driver change in Formula 1.
