Ocon dropped by Haas for rest of season after row

Haas have dropped Esteban Ocon for the rest of the 2026 Formula 1 season, saying he will no longer race for the team. The decision follows his replacement during the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend after a reported dispute, though Haas has kept the discussions behind the move private.

Brazilian rookie Rafael Camara will replace Ocon at this weekend’s São Paulo Grand Prix; Haas has not named drivers for the remaining races. Ocon, who has competed in 198 grands prix and won once, denies reports that physical violence was involved in the Mexico disagreement. He is seeking a reserve role, with his prospects of securing a 2027 race seat uncertain.
