奥孔确认2026赛季末离开哈斯车队
埃斯特班·奥孔确认将在2026赛季结束后离开哈斯F1车队,法拉利F2积分榜领跑者拉斐尔·卡马拉预计将接替他的位置。
埃斯特班·奥孔已确认将在2026赛季结束时离开哈斯F1车队,法拉利F2积分榜领跑者拉斐尔·卡马拉预计将接替他。
奥孔在效力雷诺/阿尔派五个赛季后,于2025年与哈斯签下两年合同,但未能交出预期的成绩。
去年冬天,哈斯领队小松礼雄甚至承认他对奥孔2025年的表现“期待更多”,与此同时新秀队友奥利·比尔曼在下半年确立了自己作为哈斯更强车手的地位。
2026年的情况没有足够改善,未能说服哈斯在现有合同到期后继续留下奥孔。
该车手一直在测试车手以取代他,这是其旧车测试计划的一部分,该计划允许车队在私人测试中使用一辆2025年的哈斯赛车。
这些车手包括卡马拉、迈凯伦储备车手莱昂纳多·福尔纳罗利、丰田的平川亮以及前阿尔派车手杰克·杜汉。
最终,哈斯决定放弃奥孔,卡马拉极有可能取代他。
奥孔在马来西亚的巴林大奖赛前的周三确认了自己离开车队。
“我在哈斯车队(哈斯 F1 Team)的时光将在2026赛季结束后画上句号。”奥孔写道。
“我离开这个项目时问心无愧,并为自己在各种原因和因素并非总在我掌控之下的不利情况下所取得的表现感到自豪。”
“我目前的首要任务是下一个比赛周末。我将继续与车队努力合作,抓住每一个机会,并持续从赛车中榨取每一分性能。本赛季还有很多场比赛要跑,一如既往,我会为了自己、也为了车队在方向盘后拼尽全力。”
“我依然充满动力,我依然渴望胜利。这绝对不是我一级方程式职业生涯的终点。”
奥孔所说的那些情况,很可能指的是哈斯车队在零部件不一致性方面的困扰,这使得车队在整个赛季的大部分时间里都难以让两辆赛车都达到最佳状态,奥孔和贝尔曼在不同的比赛周末都受到了影响。
哈斯车队发布了官方声明,感谢奥孔为车队做出的贡献,小松礼雄表示:“我要感谢埃斯特万自2025年加入车队以来为车队做出的一切贡献。
他的职业精神和奉献精神对我们作为一支不断成长的车队来说非常宝贵。今年我们一起应对了重大规则改革的挑战,在整个赛季努力研发VF-26的过程中,埃斯特万的驾驶经验和意见发挥了重要作用。
赛季还剩下很多场比赛,我们的重点仍然是共同努力,抓住每一个机会,直到本赛季最后一场比赛结束。”
奥康目前在车手积分榜上排名第16,他在巴库带领哈斯取得了本赛季首次双人积分完赛。
随着阿斯顿·马丁确认阿隆索和斯特罗尔将继续效力至2027年,奥康在2027年将没有任何正式比赛席位的可选,因为目前只剩下梅赛德斯和小红牛(小红牛)还未确认车手阵容,而奥康对这两个席位都没有竞争力。
据The Race了解,奥康很可能在2027年寻求一个一级方程式(F1)储备车手的角色,目标是争取在2028年重返发车区。
他在2019年曾经做到过这一点,当时他在赛点车队(Racing Point)被斯特罗尔取代后被迫退居幕后,随后通过在梅赛德斯担任储备车手,一年后与雷诺车队重返一级方程式。
奥孔在2016赛季中途代表马诺车队完成了他的F1首秀,他曾在2014年击败马克斯·维斯塔潘夺得F3(三级方程式)冠军,并在一年后赢得了GP3(如今的F3)锦标赛冠军。
英文原文
Esteban Ocon has confirmed he’ll exit the Haas Formula 1 team at the end of the 2026 season, with Ferrari’s F2 points leader Rafael Camara set to replace him.
Ocon signed a two-year deal with Haas in 2025 after five seasons with Renault/Alpine, but it hasn’t delivered the expected results.
Last winter, Haas team boss Ayao Komatsu even admitted he “expected more” from Ocon in 2025, as rookie team-mate Ollie Bearman established himself as the stronger Haas driver in the second half of the year.
Things haven’t improved enough in 2026 to convince Haas to keep Ocon beyond the end of his current deal.
The team has been testing drivers to replace him as part of its Testing of Previous Cars programme, which lets it use a 2025 Haas in private tests.
Those drivers include Camara, McLaren reserve driver Leonardo Fornaroli, Toyota’s Ryo Hirakawa and ex-Alpine F1 driver Jack Doohan.
Ultimately, Haas decided to drop Ocon, with Camara highly likely to replace him.
Ocon confirmed his own exit from the team on the Wednesday before the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.
"My time with Haas F1 Team will come to an end at the end of the 2026 season," Ocon wrote.
"I leave this project with my head held high and proud of my performances in what were not always the easiest of circumstances for various reasons and factors outside of my control.
"My immediate focus is the next race weekend. I will continue to work hard with the team, maximise every opportunity, and keep extracting every bit of performance from the car. There are still many races to go this season and, as always, I will give it my everything behind the wheel for myself and for my team.
"I am still motivated. I am still hungry. This is absolutely not the end of my Formula 1 career."
The circumstances Ocon refers to are likely Haas's struggles with inconsistent parts that have left it struggling to run two cars optimally for a lot of the season, with both Ocon and Bearman affected on different weekends.
Haas released its own statement thanking Ocon for his services, with Komatsu saying "“I’d like to thank Esteban for everything he’s contributed to the team since joining us in 2025.
"His professionalism and commitment have proved valuable as we continue to grow as an organisation. Together this year we tackled the challenge of a major regulation change, where Esteban’s driving experience and inputs were significant as we’ve worked hard to develop the VF-26 across the season.
"There’s still plenty of racing ahead, and our focus remains on working together to maximise every opportunity through to the final race of the year.”
Ocon is currently 16th in the drivers’ championship, having led Haas’s first double points finish of the season in Baku.
With Aston Martin confirming Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll for 2027, it leaves Ocon with no race seat options for 2027, as only Mercedes and Racing Bulls haven’t confirmed their line-ups, and Ocon is a contender for neither.
The Race understands Ocon will most likely look for an F1 reserve role in 2027, with the aim of fighting back onto the grid for 2028.
He managed to do that in 2019 when he was left on the sidelines after being replaced by Lance Stroll at Racing Point, returning to F1 with Renault one year later via a reserve role with Mercedes.
Ocon made his F1 debut partway through the 2016 season for Manor, having beaten Max Verstappen to the Formula 3 title in 2014 and won the GP3 (now Formula 3) championship one year later.
