Speculation is rising that Esteban Ocon will complete his final year with Alpine before joining Haas for 2025, with an announcement expected before the 2024 summer break starting on July 29.
Speculation is mounting that Alpine driver Esteban Ocon will spend his final year with the Enstone team before moving to Haas for the 2025 season. An official announcement is anticipated before the 2024 summer break, which begins on July 29., Ocon is set to replace Kevin Magnussen at Haas, where he will race alongside Oliver Bearman, the incoming replacement for Nico Hulkenberg. Ocon’s move to the American team will conclude his five-year stint with Alpine at the end of this season.
Ocon and Alpine have mutually decided to part ways following a spat during the Monaco Grand Prix, with the Frenchman rumored to be securing a multi-year contract with Haas following this decision.
