The US-based Haas team have signed Alpine driver Esteban Ocon on a multi-year contract for the 2025 Formula 1 season.
Ocon, 27, made his debut in F1 in 2016 and picked up his first and only race win at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Last week Haas announced their decision to drop Kevin Magnussen for next season, meaning they will have an all-new line-up next year as the Frenchman joins Briton Oliver Bearman in their team.
“I am thrilled to embark on this new chapter in my Formula 1 career and join Haas from the start of the 2025 season,” Ocon said.
“I’ll be joining a very ambitious racing team, whose spirit, work ethic and undeniable upward trajectory has really impressed me.”
In 2022, he finished eighth in his best finish in the World Drivers’ Championship.
But Ocon, who has had three podiums in his F1 career, has struggled this season and sits 18th in the championship.
Haas principal Ayao Komatsu will link up with the Frenchman again after being involved as race engineer for Lotus – which is now Alpine – during Ocon’s maiden run in an F1 car.
