Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has warned that Esteban Ocon risks losing his seat with the team by the end of the season unless he improves his performance significantly.
Steiner made the comments on The Red Flags Podcast following Ocon's 14th-place finish at the Canadian Grand Prix. He stated that Ocon was multiple laps behind and said, “I think he’s gone by the end of the year. He’s not back next year.” Steiner added that without drastic changes, Ocon will not remain with the team into 2027.
