奥康预计2026赛季结束后离开哈斯F1车队
据The 比赛报道，埃斯特班·奥康预计将在本赛季结束后离开哈斯F1车队，法拉利青训车手、F2冠军争夺者拉斐尔·卡马拉是接替他的热门人选。奥康本人承认目前是自由身，并正在与其他车队接触。
埃斯特班·奥康预计将在本赛季结束后离开哈斯F1车队，法拉利青训车手、F2冠军争夺者拉斐尔·卡马拉是接替他的热门人选。
奥康在雷诺/阿尔派效力五个赛季后，于2025年加入哈斯，与奥利·贝尔曼搭档。
去年他被自己的新秀队友以微弱优势压过，本赛季又以3比18落后于贝尔曼，这对车队而言已变成一个令人失望的赛季——不过奥康是两人中较近取得积分的一位，他在6月的摩纳哥大奖赛上获得第九名。
哈斯今年早些时候已开始借助与技术合作伙伴丰田共同开展的私人测试项目，评估奥康的替代人选。
2025年F2冠军、迈凯伦青训车手莱昂纳多·福纳罗利，丰田支持的平川亮，以及哈斯储备车手杰克·杜汉，是哈斯在这些测试中得以评估的主要车手。其中，卡马拉被认为是接替奥康的头号人选。
奥康离开哈斯尚未官宣，但按目前情况他预计会离队。他在周三本周末阿塞拜疆大奖赛前承认，“目前我明年肯定是自由身”，并确认正在与其他车队商谈。
The 比赛了解到，关于他的替代人选尚未签署任何协议。当The 比赛问及他是否仍有可能继续留在哈斯时，奥康只回答：“看看吧。”
奥康提到“讨论中有一些我无法控制的事情”——哈斯车队领队小松礼雄此前承认，车手阵容还需考虑更广泛的商业因素，但强调表现将是首要考量。
据信哈斯拥有将奥康合同延长至2027年的选项，但车队希望继续留用法拉利支持的贝尔曼，后者在车队内部评价极高，而奥康仅凭表现未能给出有力的留队理由。
然而，本赛季哈斯作为一支车队整体表现更加挣扎。两位车手在积分榜上的差距被扭曲，因为贝尔曼的17分中有17分来自前两站比赛，当时哈斯最具竞争力，他在一场消耗战式的中国大奖赛中获得第五名。
此后12站比赛中，贝尔曼和奥康合计仅得4分。
哈斯相对竞争力的下滑（直到最近一次升级才有所改善），也伴随着车队发现两辆赛车表现不稳定。
“我们看法一致，”奥康说。“我们没有隐瞒。我们知道这是一个持续存在的问题。”
“令人欣慰的是我做得不错。我的表现今年不是问题。每次我拿到赛车时我都发挥出来了。”
“而且我是最近一个在摩纳哥得分的人。我在马德里几乎就要得分了[他在西班牙大奖赛获得第11名]。有很多次我都是在赛车表现不佳时发挥出色。这一点很清楚。”
储备车手角色是奥康留在F1的最佳机会，因为剩余未确认的席位——梅赛德斯、小红牛、奥迪和阿斯顿·马丁——很可能都由现任车手填补。
瓦尔特利·博塔斯曾在梅赛德斯以储备车手身份度过一个赛季，从而在今年随凯迪拉克重返发车格，但据了解，奥康本人重返梅赛德斯——他此前曾是那里的青训车手和储备车手——可能性不大，因为弗雷德·维斯蒂在该队担任第三车手。
因此，选择一支能让他把测试/储备车手角色直接转化为正式席位的车队，很可能是他的优先事项。
英文原文
Esteban Ocon is expected to leave the Haas Formula 1 team at the end of the season with Ferrari protege and Formula 2 title contender Rafael Camara the favourite to replace him.
Ocon joined Haas in 2025 to partner Ollie Bearman after his five-season stint with Renault/Alpine ended.
He was narrowly outscored by his rookie team-mate last year and trails Bearman 18-3 this season in what has turned into a disappointing campaign for the team - though Ocon was the more recent of the two to score points, when he finished ninth in June's Monaco Grand Prix.
Haas started evaluating alternatives to Ocon earlier this year with the private testing programme it undertakes alongside technical partner Toyota.
Camara, 2025 F2 champion and McLaren junior Leonardo Fornaroli, Toyota-backed Ryo Hirakawa, and Haas reserve Jack Doohan are the main drivers Haas was able to evaluate in these tests. Of those, Camara is considered the leading candidate to replace Ocon.
Ocon's Haas exit is not official but he expects to leave the team as it stands. He admitted on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix that "at the moment I'm definitely a free agent for next year" and confirmed he is talking to other teams.
The Race understands that nothing has been signed regarding his replacement. When asked by The Race if it was still an option for him to continue with Haas, Ocon only replied: "Let's see."
Ocon referred to "things in the discussion that are out of my control" - Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu has previously acknowledged that there is a wider commercial element to consider with its driver line-up but stressed that performance would be the first priority.
Haas is understood to have an option to extend Ocon's contract into 2027 but it wants to continue with Ferrari-backed Bearman, who is very highly rated within the team, and Ocon was unable to make a compelling case to be retained on performance alone.
However, this season Haas has struggled more as a team. The gap between the two drivers in the standings is warped by Bearman scoring 17 of his points in the first two races, when Haas was most competitive and he finished fifth in an attritional Chinese GP.
Bearman and Ocon have only scored four points between them in the 12 events since.
The decline in Haas's relative performance until a recent upgrade has also coincided with the team finding both cars behaving inconsistently.
"We're all on the same page," said Ocon. "We're not hiding it. We know it's been an ongoing issue.
"It's reassuring that I'm doing a good job. My performance hasn't been an issue this year. I've performed every time I had the car.
"And I've been the last one to score in Monaco. I was almost scoring in Madrid [he finished 11th in the Spanish GP]. There's been a lot of times where I've performed when the car was underperforming. It's been clear."
A reserve role is Ocon’s best chance at staying in F1 because the remaining unconfirmed seats - at Mercedes, Racing Bulls, Audi and Aston Martin - are all likely to be filled by the current drivers.
Valtteri Bottas spent a season back at Mercedes in a reserve driver role to get onto the grid with Cadillac this year, but it is understood that Ocon’s own return to Mercedes - where he was a junior and reserve driver previously - is unlikely given the role Fred Vesti plays for the team as its third driver.
Picking a team where he could then parlay a test/reserve driver role directly into a race seat is therefore likely to be the priority.
