Haas to decide on 2027 F1 driver line-up soon

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu said the squad will decide its driver line-up for 2027 around May, June or July. Both current drivers, Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon, have contracts expiring at the end of 2026.

Komatsu made the comments amid questions over Ocon’s future. The Frenchman has scored just one point in the first five races of 2026 and finished 14th in the Canadian Grand Prix last weekend while Bearman took 10th place. Ocon blamed car issues for his result and said the team would try to fix problems ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.
