F1 star is set to lose his job and Ferrari and McLaren are in a fight to replace him with 'their guy'

Esteban Ocon is reportedly at risk of losing his position at Haas, with the team holding auditions for potential replacements for the 2027 season. The auditions will take place on August 24 and 25, 2026, featuring drivers including Rafael Camara from Ferrari's Driver Academy and McLaren reserve driver Leonardo Fornaroli, among others.

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur emphasized the significant investment in Camara's training, while McLaren is backing Fornaroli after his achievements in lower racing categories. Both teams are competing to secure their preferred candidates for the limited available seats in Formula 1.
