Esteban Ocon Set to Join Haas for 2025 F1 Season as Driver Market Heats Up
Esteban Ocon is nearing a deal to race for Haas in the 2025 Formula 1 season.
It is expected that Esteban Ocon will probably join the Haas team, with an official announcement possibly being made before the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend.
BBC Sport reports that Ocon has joined Haas, and an official announcement might be made soon.
Since it was revealed earlier this year that he would be leaving Alpine, there has been significant speculation about Ocon potentially joining Haas.
Haas will have at least one open spot for next season since Nico Hulkenberg has chosen to depart the team and sign with Sauber in anticipation of Audi's acquisition in 2026.
Kevin Magnussen's series of underwhelming performances since the beginning of last year has led Haas to explore other options.
It appears that Ocon is their primary choice, with an agreement nearly finalized.
Ocon is set to join forces with Ferrari's junior driver Oliver Bearman, whose participation was revealed prior to the British Grand Prix.
According to BBC Sport, Esteban Ocon is set to join Haas for the next season. Sources indicate that the announcement could come very soon, potentially before this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
According to reliable insiders connected to both Haas and Mercedes, who oversee the career of the French driver, it has been confirmed that Haas has already secured a contract with British driver Oliver Bearman for the 2025 season. Consequently, Kevin Magnussen will be leaving the US-based team at the conclusion of this season and is now exploring opportunities with Alpine, Sauber, or Williams to continue his Formula 1 career.
Carlos Sainz and Valtteri Bottas are also significant contenders in the driver market.
Sainz is considering Alpine, Williams, and Sauber as potential teams, but he is also monitoring the situations at Mercedes and Red Bull.
Where Sainz ultimately goes will influence Bottas' future, as he is considered a potential candidate for a seat at Williams, where he could team up again with James Vowles.
The BBC also mentioned that the situation is similar for Valtteri Bottas and Carlos Sainz, whose future remains uncertain after Ferrari chose to replace him with Lewis Hamilton.
