Esteban Ocon dropped - is it the end of his F1 career?

Esteban Ocon’s Formula 1 career at Haas is effectively over for the rest of this season, after a dispute with team principal Ayao Komatsu in Mexico City. The 30-year-old was already expected to leave Haas at year’s end, with little chance of finding a seat in 2025, but the falling-out reportedly accelerated his departure. What led to the decision is unclear, with lawyers now involved and no official details. Ocon objected on the radio to engineer Laura Mueller’s plan change during Friday practice—from soft tyres to mediums—and the argument allegedly continued after the session. Haas later confirmed he will not drive again.
