奥孔将于2026年底离开哈斯，五名候选接班人选浮出水面
奥孔将在2026赛季结束后离开哈斯，车队将需要为2027年寻找接替他的车手，与贝尔曼搭档。
接替埃斯特班·奥孔的五名候选者：2027年F1哈斯车队人选
明年F1哈斯车队将与奥利弗·贝尔曼搭档的席位现已空出
消息终于揭晓：埃斯特班·奥孔将在这支美国车队经历一段令人失望的时光后，于2026年F1赛季结束后离开哈斯。
他于2025年加盟，考虑到当时他已有八个赛季的经验，包括四次登上领奖台和在匈牙利的胜利，奥孔曾被视为哈斯的一笔重要引援。
这位法国车手成为了车队历史上第一位赢得大奖赛冠军的车手，而与新秀奥利弗·比尔曼并肩作战的奥康，本处在引领车队迈向新规则时代的理想位置。
但事情并没有顺利发展。在共同效力的18个月里，他只拿到45分，而比尔曼拿到了61分，而且他一直被这位21岁的年轻车手压制，这让这个早已被预料到的消息最终成为现实。
不过，奥康的继任者尚未确认，那么有哪五位车手有可能在2027年成为比尔曼在哈斯车队的队友呢？
莱昂纳多·福尔纳罗利，迈凯伦车队；威尔·约瑟夫，迈凯伦比赛工程总监
莱昂纳多·福尔纳罗利是2027年哈斯车队第二个席位的两大明显热门人选之一。这位21岁的意大利车手又是一位在夺得年度总冠军之后立即被迫坐上F1车队替补席的二级方程式毕业生，他在2026年一直担任迈凯伦的测试车手。
但福尔纳罗利凭借幕后的发展工作在这支英国车队中确实大放异彩，同时还出现在巴塞罗那和布达佩斯的自由练习环节中——他在巴塞罗那表现出色，拿下第五名，仅落后奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里半秒。
“这是一个非常应得的机会，”迈凯伦车队领队安德烈亚·斯特拉在西班牙时高兴地说。“我们已经与莱昂纳多共事了几个月。我们非常欣赏他作为一个人的态度，以及作为一名车手的态度。”
“他其实是一个非常有意思的人。他看起来很腼腆，但他是目前为止最主动向工程师提问的车手，他总是带着笔记本到处走，记下很多笔记，一有想法就会分享出来。”
因此，福尔纳罗利无疑被视为围场内值得关注的车手之一。如果一级方程式的机会没有出现，迈凯伦也肯定会有机会把他安排进自己的印地赛车或世界耐力锦标赛项目之中。
但一级方程式仍然是目标，这也可以理解，毕竟他是少数连续夺得三级方程式和二级方程式冠军这一精英俱乐部的一员。在三级方程式，他没有赢得任何一场比赛却拿下了总冠军，而是专注于稳定性——这在青训体系中是极难做到的——随后在去年的二级方程式中延续了这种表现。
斯特拉说：“列奥纳多对一级方程式的未来来说无疑是一笔财富。”而这可能正是哈斯能够介入的地方，尤其是福尔纳罗利曾在六月为该车队在赫雷斯完成了为期两天的老车测试计划。
无论结果如何，迈凯伦都希望保持对这位意大利车手的控制权，这与前青训车手加布里埃尔·博托莱托被放行加盟奥迪的情况不同。这也使得如果哈斯有意接受，福尔纳罗利可以以租借的方式加盟哈斯。
可以说，最直接的选择就是哈斯车队将其储备车手平川亮提拔为正式车手。这位32岁的车手于2025年加入车队——此前曾效力于迈凯伦和阿尔派——这要归功于他与丰田的深厚关系，丰田目前是哈斯的合作伙伴兼冠名赞助商，为其提供设计、技术和制造服务。
与大众的普遍看法相反，平川亮其实拥有丰富的单座赛车经验，在他本土日本的超级方程式九个赛季中，他获得过四场胜利，并曾获得年度亚军。他还为哈斯执行了多项测试前车（TPC）项目，赢得过2012年日本三级方程式冠军，并参加过三个赛季的日本方程式挑战赛（Formula Challenge Japan）。
但这些经历几乎没有一项是在国际层面取得的，而且不可否认，耐力赛车领域才是他的看家本领——他曾夺得2017年超级GT冠军、勒芒24小时耐力赛冠军以及2022年和2023年世界耐力锦标赛（WEC）年度总冠军，目前还与丰田一起领跑2026赛季积分榜。
因此这仍然是一个出人意料的选择，而且他比奥孔年长两岁，提拔平川亮可能会被外界视为哈斯的一个奇怪决定。不过他确实给车队留下了深刻印象，而且据了解，如果他离开WEC，丰田将签下自己的青训车手埃斯特班·马松——而不是另一位埃斯特班，也就是埃斯特班·奥孔！
平川不一定是哈斯唯一考虑的日本车手，因为角田裕毅正在拼命为2027年的一级方程式赛季寻找席位。这位26岁的车手曾一度被视为车队不可或缺的一员，他在法恩扎车队（经历多次更名）度过了四个赛季。值得肯定的是，他干得相当扎实，曾击败过丹尼尔·里卡多和尼克·德弗里斯等队友。
唯一的问题在于，红牛的姊妹车队不是任何人的长期归宿，所以他要么升入红牛主队，要么另寻出路。最终，由于利亚姆·劳森表现不佳，角田在2025年初获得了那次提拔，但他成了又一位在马克斯·维斯塔潘身边陷入挣扎的车手——上赛季他仅列积分榜第17位，而世界冠军则高居第二。
于是角田被放弃，被迫在2026年担任红牛的储备车手，伊萨克·哈贾尔接替了他的位置，并在维斯塔潘身边表现出色。看起来角田的一级方程式生涯就此终结，关于他转战印地赛车的传闻也出现了，直到最近他获得了一次最后的机会，把自己重新摆上货架。
这要归功于哈贾尔受伤，于是劳森填补了红牛的席位，而角田则在小红牛车队顶替空缺，参加了荷兰、意大利和西班牙大奖赛。这位日本车手表现出色，在蒙扎拿到一个积分，在赞德沃特则与得分失之交臂，因此他看起来恢复了昔日的水准，对自己的表现无疑感到满意。
“我非常开心，我特别享受这堂排位赛，”角田裕毅在周六赞德沃特拿到第12名后说道。“我很怀念这种追逐最后几毫秒的感觉。我适应得比我预想的还要快。”
第二天，这位拥有114场大奖赛出场经验的车手发出了绝望的呼吁，希望F1车队“联系我”，因为他2027年的选择仍悬而未决。虽然从纸面上看哈斯可能是一个选项，但角田裕毅仍然隶属于丰田的竞争对手本田，这很可能在这次成为阻碍他的因素。
为一个可能只是哈斯一个赛季的席位，去改变阵营——而这会对职业生涯产生长期影响——值得吗？尽管本田把他带进了F1，但讽刺的是，可能正是这一点阻止他全职回归。
此时人们大可以列举所有红牛青训体系培养出的车手，但劳森可以说正处在职业生涯一个奇怪的十字路口。这位24岁的车手在2023年替补受伤的里卡多为法恩扎车队完成F1首秀，随即表现出色，但之后直到2024年最后八站才回归，并在2025年开启了他的第一个完整赛季。
问题在于，2025年他在红牛车队开启了前两场大奖赛，但完全跟不上节奏，于是被调回姊妹车队，此后一直待在那里。历史经验表明，除非发生像最近这样的特殊情况，红牛从不会重新提拔自家车手，这意味着劳森的选择只剩小红牛（小红牛）或者转会其他车队。
棘手之处在于，尽管F1现在正看到这位新西兰车手的最佳状态——他以生涯最佳的59个积分位居车手积分榜第九——但小红牛（小红牛）是中游车队的领跑者。然而这却是一支没人愿意长期停留的车队，所以如果他转投哈斯，实际上是在等级序列中往下走。
不过，随着目前在F2积分榜上排名第二的尼古拉·措洛夫蓄势待发，加上劳森的队友是表现出色的青少年新秀阿维德·林德布拉德，红牛必须做出决定。劳森很可能会留队到2027年，然后再分析自己的选择，但他也可能抢先一步，认定长期来看顶替哈斯的奥孔是最佳出路。
尽管有上述种种情况，很难不认为奥孔的接替者会是现任F2积分榜领跑者拉斐尔·卡马拉。这位21岁的巴西车手近来已成为那个席位的明显热门人选——原因显而易见：他目前高居F2积分榜榜首，延续着自己在F3夺冠赛季的出色势头。
而且与福尔纳罗利不同的是，卡马拉在自己的新秀赛季就夺得了F3总冠军，而这位意大利车手是在第二个赛季才做到的，此前一个赛季他只排在第11名。所以单论天赋，卡马拉可以说是略胜一筹，他在每个级别都拿过冠军，而且继2024年赢得区域方程式欧洲锦标赛（Formula Regional European Championship）之后，他在2026年看起来很有希望实现三连冠。
不过今年对卡马拉来说绝对是突破性的一年，而排位赛正是他最令人印象深刻的地方，他拿下了五个杆位，这是自皮亚斯特里在2021年拿下同样数量以来新秀的最佳纪录。因此，在本赛季仅剩的两站比赛——卡塔尔和阿布扎比——中，卡马拉有望超越这位如今已九夺大奖赛冠军的车手；如果这两站比赛能在中东局势中照常举行，这位INVICTA车队车手将带着对措洛夫七分的领先优势前往。
卡马拉展现出了迅速适应新级别赛事的巨大能力——在F3中，他在赛季前五轮比赛中就有四轮拿下杆位——而这显然是进入F1所必需的素质，尤其是他还从未参加过任何一次练习赛出场。
让他比福尔纳罗利更具优势的另一点是，这位巴西车手是法拉利青训体系培养出来的车手——法拉利正是哈斯目前的引擎供应商——贝尔曼也是如此，而且据了解，法拉利非常希望卡马拉能与旗下另一位青训车手并肩作战。这位年轻小将最近在波尔蒂芒参加的一次老车测试（TPC test）中表现极为出色，同样给人留下了深刻印象。
贝尔曼对阵卡马拉，算是日后接替刘易斯·汉密尔顿的一场试镜，有人想看吗？

Five contenders to replace Esteban Ocon at Haas for F1 2027
There is now a seat open at Haas alongside Oliver Bearman in F1 next year
The news is finally out that Esteban Ocon will leave Haas at the end of the 2026 Formula 1 campaign following a disappointing time with the American outfit.
He joined for 2025 and considering his then eight seasons of experience, including four podiums and a victory in Hungary, Ocon was viewed as a real coup for Haas.
The Frenchman became its first grand prix-winning driver and, lining up alongside rookie Oliver Bearman, Ocon was in the perfect place to lead that team forward into the new regulations.
But it just hasn’t worked out. Scoring just 45 points to Bearman’s 61 in their 18 months together, while being consistently outperformed by the 21-year-old, has led to this news that was long expected.
Ocon’s replacement is yet to be confirmed though, so who are five drivers that could serve as Bearman’s team-mate at Haas in 2027?
Leonardo Fornaroli, McLaren, Will Joseph, Director of Race Engineering, McLaren
Leonardo Fornaroli is one of two clear favourites for the second Haas seat in 2027. The 21-year-old Italian is yet another Formula 2 graduate to have been forced to sit on the sidelines for an F1 team immediately after a title-winning campaign, having served as McLaren’s test driver in 2026.
But Fornaroli has certainly shined at the British marque with his development work behind the scenes, while also appearing in free practice sessions at Barcelona and Budapest - impressing at the former, taking fifth and just half a second off Oscar Piastri.
“It’s a very deserved opportunity,” beamed McLaren team boss Andrea Stella in Spain. “We have worked with Leonardo for some months now. We have appreciated massively his attitude as a person and as a driver.
“He is actually a very interesting character. He looks timid, but by far he is the most proactive driver in asking the engineers, he goes around with his notebook, takes several notes and as soon as he has an idea, he shares it.”
So Fornaroli is definitely viewed as one to watch within the paddock and should an F1 opportunity not arise for him, there’ll definitely be chances for McLaren to place him within either its IndyCar or World Endurance Championship projects.
But F1 is still the goal, and understandably so after being part of an exclusive club to have won the F3 and F2 crowns back-to-back. In F3 he achieved the title despite not winning a race, but instead focused on consistency - an incredibly hard thing to accomplish in the junior categories - before carrying that over into F2 last season.
“Leonardo is certainly an asset for Formula 1 in the future,” said Stella. And that might just be where Haas fits into the equation, particularly as Fornaroli completed a two-day TPC programme for the squad at Jerez in June.
Whatever happens, McLaren is keen to retain control over the Italian, unlike former junior driver Gabriel Bortoleto who was cut loose to join Audi, making Fornaroli available to Haas on a loan deal if the team wants to take up the offer.
Arguably the most straightforward option would be for Haas to promote its reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa into a full-time seat. The 32-year-old joined the operation in 2025 - following stints with McLaren and Alpine - thanks to his strong ties with Toyota, who is a current partner and title sponsor of Haas, providing design, technical and manufacturing services.
Against popular belief, Hirakawa also has plenty of single-seater experience with four wins and a runner-up championship finish during nine seasons of Super Formula in his native Japan. He has also conducted various TPC programmes for Haas, won the 2012 Japanese Formula 3 Championship and did three seasons of Formula Challenge Japan.
But hardly any of that is at an international level and there can be no denying that the sportscar scene is his bread and butter, having taken the 2017 Super GT title, a victory at Le Mans and the 2022 and 2023 WEC crowns, while also currently leading the 2026 standings with Toyota.
So it would still be a left-field option and with him two years old than Ocon, promoting Hirakawa might be seen as a strange choice by Haas. But he has nonetheless impressed the team and should he depart WEC, it is understood that Toyota would sign its junior Esteban Masson - not the other Esteban in Esteban Ocon!
Hirakawa is not the only Japanese driver that Haas could be considering, as Yuki Tsunoda is desperately trying to find a seat for the 2027 F1 campaign. The 26-year-old was once considered part of the furniture after four seasons at Team Faenza - under its various guises - where to his credit, he did a solid job, having outperformed team-mates like Daniel Ricciardo and Nyck de Vries.
The only issue was that Red Bull’s sister team is not a long-term home for anybody and so either a promotion to the main squad or looking elsewhere were his only options. Ultimately, Tsunoda got that promotion at the start of 2025 - thanks to Liam Lawson performing poorly - but he became another driver to struggle alongside Max Verstappen by finishing 17th in last year’s standings compared to second for the world champion.
So Tsunoda was dropped and forced into a reserve driver role at Red Bull for 2026, with Isack Hadjar taking his seat and performing valiantly alongside Verstappen. It looked as though Tsunoda’s F1 career was therefore done and talks about an IndyCar move emerged, until he was recently given one final opportunity to put himself in the shopping window.
That came after an injury for Hadjar, so Lawson took his seat at Red Bull while Tsunoda filled the void at Racing Bulls for the Dutch, Italian and Spanish grands prix. The Japanese driver performed well, taking a point at Monza and narrowly missing out at Zandvoort, so he looked like a version of his former self and was no doubt pleased by his performances.
“I’m super happy, I enjoyed this qualifying so much,” said Tsunoda after taking 12th on Saturday at Zandvoort. “I missed this kind of feeling, chasing the last few milliseconds. I was able to get used to it faster than I expected.”
The following day saw the man of 114 grand prix starts make a desperate plea for F1 teams to “call me”, with his options for 2027 still up in the air. Although on paper Haas may be an option, Tsunoda is still affiliated with Toyota rival Honda and that is likely to be something which holds him back on this occasion.
Is it worth switching allegiances, which would have long-term career consequences, for what may just be a single season of Haas? Although Honda got him into F1, ironically it might just be what stops him from returning full-time.
One could just list all the Red Bull graduates at this point, but Lawson is arguably at a weird crossroads in his career. The 24-year-old made his F1 debut for Team Faenza in 2023, replacing the injured Ricciardo, immediately impressed, but then didn’t return until the final eight rounds of 2024 before starting his first, full campaign in 2025.
The problem is, 2025 saw him start the opening two grands prix at Red Bull but he was completely off the pace, so got moved back down to the sister squad where he has been ever since. History dictates that, unless it’s exceptional circumstances like what happened recently, Red Bull never re-promotes one of its drivers which means that Lawson’s options are Racing Bulls or elsewhere.
What makes it tricky is that, while F1 is now seeing the best of the Kiwi who is ninth in the standings with a career-best 59 points, Racing Bulls is the leader of the midfield. Yet it is a squad that nobody wants to stay at, so if he were to leave for Haas, he’d be going down the pecking order.
But with Nikola Tsolov - second in the F2 standings - waiting in the wings, with Lawson’s team-mate being the impressive teenage rookie Arvid Lindblad, Red Bull has a decision to make. It is likely that Lawson will remain for 2027 before analysing what his options are, but he could jump the gun and decide that replacing Ocon at Haas is his best bet for the long term.
Despite everything that’s been mentioned, it’s hard not to see Ocon’s replacement being the current F2 leader Rafael Camara. The 21-year-old has recently emerged as the clear favourite for that seat - and it’s easy to see why, with the Brazilian atop of the F2 standings, following up his F3 title-winning campaign in fine fashion.
And unlike Fornaroli, Camara also took the F3 title in his rookie season while the Italian did it as a sophomore, finishing 11th the season prior. So on raw talent, Camara arguably edges it, having won titles at every level and in 2026 he looks set to make it three on the bounce after taking the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship.
This has very much been a breakthrough year for him though and qualifying is where he’s impressed the most, taking five poles, which is the most for a rookie since Piastri achieved that same amount in 2021. Camara could therefore surpass the now nine-time grand prix winner with two rounds left - Qatar and Abu Dhabi - in the current season where, should they go ahead amid the Middle Eastern conflict, the Invicta driver will arrive with a seven-point cushion over Tsolov.
Camara has shown immense capabilities to adapt to a new category right away - in F3 he took pole in four of the opening five rounds - and that is obviously something that’s needed for F1, particularly when he’s yet to appear in a practice outing.
What also gives him the edge over Fornaroli is that the Brazilian is an academy graduate of Ferrari - Haas’ current engine supplier - likewise with Bearman - and Ferrari is known to be keen for Camara to slot in alongside its other junior. The youngster is also understood to have impressed mightily on a recent TPC test in Portimao.
Bearman versus Camara in an audition to one day replace Lewis Hamilton, anybody?
