Haas will therefore line up with a new driver duo in 2025. The departure of German Nico Hülkenberg to Sauber has already been clear for some time.

The 36-year-old Rhinelander will be replaced by 19-year-old Briton Oliver Bearman from the Ferrari junior academy for his first season as a regular driver. Frenchman Esteban Ocon, who will leave Alpine at the end of this year, is regarded as the top contender for Magnussen's seat.
