Haas team principal, Ayao Komatsu, has set a timeline for confirming the 2027 Formula 1 line-up amidst rumors questioning Esteban Ocon’s future with the team.
Komatsu and Ocon were both shocked and angered by baseless claims of a fallout and potential threat to Ocon’s drive, labeling the rumors as “complete bulls**t” and “f**king bulls**t gossip.”
With Ollie Bearman performing strongly, there is speculation whether Ocon will face pressure to improve his results, as both drivers are in their second season with Haas.
Komatsu revealed that discussions about the 2027 lineup are already underway, with a focus on next year’s drivers and decisions to be made in the upcoming months.
While rumors point at Bearman as a possible Ferrari option in the future, Lewis Hamilton reiterated his commitment to stay in F1 for the foreseeable future.
