According to Sport, Esteban Ocon has agreed to join Haas for the upcoming season. An announcement regarding this signing is anticipated soon, perhaps in the lead-up to this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.
This information is obtained from reliable sources near Haas and Mercedes, the Frenchman’s management.
Therefore, Oliver Bearman, a British driver, has already signed a contract with Haas for 2025, therefore, Kevin Magnussen will leave the US team at the end of the current campaign and go to Alpine, Sauber, or Williams for an F1 lifeline.
Ferrari will also determine the futures of Carlos Sainz and Valtteri Bottas.
But given backup driver Liam Lawson’s performance in the Red Bull last week, the question most likely revolves around Sergio Perez’s future.
Despite some improved showing in recent races, Perez is still under a lot of strain, and Daniel Ricciardo’s position at RB is under scrutiny.
Will Red Bull rearrange these seats in any way? That’s very much conceivable.
