Ocon says he wants to remain in Formula 1 after Haas exit

Haas this week confirmed that Esteban Ocon will leave the team at the end of the current 2026 Formula 1 season. The announcement followed what both reports described as a move that had already been widely discussed in the paddock.

Ocon said in Malaysia that his focus remains on Formula 1. He said F1 is where he belongs and where he wants to be.

He also said he is not going to look elsewhere, while adding that the future can still change. Across the reports, Ocon's position was presented as a clear desire to continue in Formula 1 after his Haas departure.
