Esteban Ocon Joins Haas for 2025 F1 Season

Posted : 25 July 2024

French driver Esteban Ocon is set to make history as the first Formula One Grand Prix winner to join Haas after signing a multi-year contract starting next season. The US-owned team announced the news on Thursday, confirming that Ocon will team up with British rookie and Ferrari reserve Oliver Bearman in a completely new driver lineup. Ocon will be leaving Renault-owned Alpine, who had previously disclosed his departure.

 

Haas, which entered Formula One in 2016 and has yet to secure a race victory, will benefit from Ocon's experience. The French driver achieved his only career win to date with Alpine at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix. Throughout his career, Ocon has raced in 146 Grand Prix events and has previously driven for the now-defunct Manor and Force India teams.

 

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu, who has a background with Lotus, the predecessor to Alpine, expressed confidence in Ocon’s contribution to the team. Komatsu highlighted Ocon’s experience and skills gained from working with a manufacturer team, viewing it as a significant advantage for Haas’s ongoing development.

 

Ocon, enthusiastic about joining Haas, praised the team's ambition and growth trajectory. He expressed gratitude to team owner Gene Haas and Komatsu for their support and the constructive discussions that led to the agreement. Haas, currently seventh in the constructors' standings, is 18 points ahead of Alpine and will see changes next season with Kevin Magnussen's departure and Nico Hulkenberg moving to Sauber, soon to become Audi.
