Formula 1: the split is final, Ocon will no longer drive this season

Esteban Ocon will no longer race for the Haas Formula 1 team after a dispute with management during the Mexican Grand Prix weekend. Ryo Hirakawa replaced him and scored points as a rookie. Ocon's departure was confirmed earlier, with Camara set to take his place next season. Team principal Komacu Ajao stated that the decision was made in the team's best interest, emphasizing the confidentiality of discussions with Ocon. Camara, currently leading in Formula 2, impressed Haas during private tests, prompting an earlier opportunity in F1. It remains undecided whether Hirakawa or Camara will race for Haas after Brazil.
