哈斯车队提前解约奥康，卡马拉出战巴西站
哈斯车队宣布埃斯特班·奥康本赛季剩余比赛不再回归车手席位，拉法·卡马拉将顶替其出战巴西大奖赛。此前奥康在墨西哥站练习赛后与车队领队小松礼雄发生冲突，中途被撤下。
埃斯特班·奥康已被哈斯车队永久撤下车手席位，将缺席本赛季剩余的一级方程式比赛，本周末的巴西大奖赛将由拉法·卡马拉顶替出战。
奥康在上周末墨西哥站比赛进行到中途时意外被撤下，据报道原因是周五练习赛后与车队领队小松礼雄发生了冲突。
这是双方日益紧张关系的一次突然升级，而这段关系本来今年就会结束——哈斯此前已决定在2027年用F2争冠车手、法拉利青训车手卡马拉替换奥康。
如今这一更换提前发生，不过哈斯宣布与奥康彻底分手的声明目前只确认卡马拉出战巴西站。墨西哥站最初顶替奥康出场的是平川亮。
小松表示：“我们现在已经通知埃斯特班·奥康，他本赛季将不会再以TGR哈斯F1车队正式车手的身份参赛。”
“这样的决定从来都不是轻易做出的，墨西哥城的情况也是如此——但当时和现在一样，我们坚信这最符合车队未来发展的利益。”
“车队与埃斯特班最终展开的对话仍属内部事务，我们将继续尊重闭门会谈的私密性质。”
在墨西哥站第二节自由练习期间，奥康在无线电中表达了一些不满，这种情绪在练习结束后仍未消散。
单独来看，这似乎不是什么大问题——奥康多次抱怨，因为车队已经在奥利·贝尔曼的轮胎上观察到了情况，所以让他用中性胎而不是软胎进行更长距离的高燃油载油测试。
但这一事件发生在奥康即将离队以及背后内部冲突的背景下，奥康对哈斯今年遇到的问题越来越感到沮丧，并且坚信自己下赛季被替换并非出于合理的性能原因。
周五晚上，他们没有放下那些平淡无奇的无线电抱怨，而是试图进一步讨论此事，结果导致了对抗。
奥康否认这导致了肢体暴力，而包括法国《队报》在内的一些报道暗示了这一点。哈斯方面无人愿意评论具体发生了什么，但事态严重到足以促使车队立即采取严厉措施，奥康被立即除名。
这件事在周五晚上结束，平川在周六一大早得知了情况。作为哈斯车队主要计划的一部分，他在周五的第一次自由练习中驾驶过赛车，他告诉日本媒体，他在早上6点30分接到电话，通知他将完成这个周末的比赛。
哈斯专注于完成墨西哥周末剩余的比赛，并帮助平川在非常困难的情况下应对意外的F1首秀，最终获得了意想不到的积分。
重启后，平川在后期超越了两位威廉姆斯车手，这原本只是为了在赛道上争夺第13名，但在前方三位车手受到处罚后，最终变成了哈斯与奥迪在车队积分榜争夺中可能至关重要的第10名。
周末过后，哈斯与奥康之间的对话转向了今年剩余时间会发生什么。
尽管奥康肯定想为发生的事情做出弥补，但事态严重到哈斯车队显然认为已经不可逆转地越过了底线——因此坚持将奥康永久撤出这个席位。
英文原文
Esteban Ocon has been permanently dropped by Haas for the remainder of the Formula 1 season and will be replaced by Rafa Camara for this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix.
Ocon was unexpectedly benched in the middle of last weekend’s Mexico event after a reported confrontation with team boss Ayao Komatsu on Friday after practice.
It was a sudden escalation in an increasingly tense relationship that was going to end this year anyway after Haas opted to replace Ocon with F2 title contender and Ferrari junior Camara in 2027.
That will now happen early, although Haas’s statement announcing the total split with Ocon only confirmed Camara for Brazil for now. Ryo Hirakawa had stepped in for Ocon initially in Mexico.
“We have now notified Esteban Ocon that he will not return to a race seat with TGR Haas F1 Team this season,” said Komatsu.
“Such decisions are never taken lightly, as was the case in Mexico City - but then, as now, we feel this is firmly in the best interests of the team moving forward.
“The conversations that ultimately unfolded between the team and Esteban remain an internal matter, and we will continue to respect the private nature of closed-door situations.”
There had been some frustration from Ocon over the radio during Mexico FP2, which lingered after the session.
It did not appear a major issue in isolation - Ocon complained repeatedly about being told he would do his longer high-fuel run on mediums, rather than softs, because of what the team had already observed on Ollie Bearman’s tyres.
But it came against the backdrop of Ocon’s impending exit and the internal clashes behind that, with Ocon feeling increasingly frustrated with Haas’s problems this year and a steadfast belief he has not been replaced for next season because of legitimate performance reasons.
Instead of moving on from unremarkable radio grumbling, an attempt to further discuss the matter on Friday evening led to a confrontation.
Ocon denies it resulted in physical violence, which some reports including one in French newspaper L’Equipe implied. Nobody at Haas will comment on exactly what occurred but it was serious enough to prompt immediate, draconian action as Ocon was dropped immediately.
The matter ended Friday evening, and Hirakawa was informed of the situation very early Saturday morning. Having driven in Friday’s FP1 as part of his main Haas programme, he told Japanese media it was 6.30am he received the call he would complete the weekend.
Haas focused on completing the rest of the Mexico weekend and helping Hirakawa handle a surprise F1 debut in very difficult circumstances, which was rewarded with an unexpected point.
Hirakawa passed the two Williams drivers late on after the restart, which was originally only for 13th on the road but ended up being for a potentially crucial 10th place in Haas’s constructors’ championship fight with Audi after penalties for three drivers ahead.
After the weekend, the dialogue between Haas and Ocon turned to what happens for the rest of the year.
Though Ocon would have surely wanted to try to make amends for whatever happened, it was serious enough that Haas clearly felt a line had been irreversibly crossed – so pressed on with removing Ocon from the seat permanently.
