Former Formula 1 driver Karun Chandhok has argued that Esteban Ocon "would be feeling twitchy" about his Haas seat after the strong performance of his team-mate Ollie Bearman.
Since joining the American outfit at the start of 2025, Ocon has found himself increasingly under pressure from his team-mate. In his rookie F1 season, Bearman finished 13th in the standings with 41 points and Ocon finished 15th with 38 points. After the first half of 2026, Bearman sits 13th in the championship with 18 points, while Ocon is 17th with only three points.
