Outgoing Haas driver Esteban Ocon: 'I deserve to be in F1'
xCruzo Brief
Esteban Ocon says he wants to stay in Formula 1 rather than pivot to another motorsport series if he can’t secure a seat for 2027. Haas confirmed last month that it will part ways with the 30-year-old French driver at the end of the 2026 season. In an interview published Thursday by RacingNews365, Ocon said he’d even accept a third-driver role if it kept him in F1, arguing that his results and track record show he “deserve[s] to be in F1.” Ocon joined Haas in 2025 and is 16th in the 2026 drivers’ standings, three spots behind teammate Oliver Bearman.
