On September 24, 2026, in Baku, Azerbaijan, Haas Formula 1 team principal Ayao Komatsu announced that the team will finalize its 2027 driver lineup within the next couple of weeks. This follows Esteban Ocon's declaration that he is a free agent for 2027. Komatsu confirmed that no decision has been made and that several drivers are under evaluation, including Rafael Camara, Leonardo Fornaroli, Ryo Hirakawa, and Jack Doohan. Ocon, who has struggled this season, remains an option. The team is conducting internal discussions before making a final decision.
