Haas 2027 seat unresolved as Bearman awaits call

Haas has not confirmed Ollie Bearman for 2027, while reports say Esteban Ocon will not race again for the team and Rafael Camara is set for Brazil.

Haas has not confirmed Ollie Bearman for the 2027 Formula 1 season. Autosport reported that Bearman is still yet to be announced despite strong expectations he will stay, while Formula1.com noted the Briton ended the Sao Paulo weekend after what it described as a difficult recent run.

The wider driver picture has shifted around Esteban Ocon. BBC Sport reported that his Formula 1 race career appears over for the foreseeable future, and Autosport reported that Haas has decided he will not race again for the team in 2026, with Rafael Camara set for an early debut in Brazil. Ocon, who is 16th in the 2026 drivers’ championship on seven points, made 189 starts in Formula 1 from 2016 to 2026 and scored one win and four podiums.

Autosport also reported that relations between Ocon and Haas had deteriorated, and that team principal Ayao Komatsu said people inside the team were surprised when Ocon was told he would not compete in Mexico. Haas has raced in Formula 1 since 2016 and remains without a win or a constructors’ title through 11 seasons.
