Ocon exit was 'best interest' for Haas, says boss

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu confirmed that Esteban Ocon will not drive for the team again following an incident during the Mexican Grand Prix, where the 28-year-old was withdrawn midway through the race after admitting to a disagreement with the team. Komatsu, speaking ahead of the São Paulo Grand Prix, said the decision was made purely in the best interest of Haas, though he declined to give specific details due to an ongoing process. Ocon, who is 28, had already been set to leave the team at the end of the season before the early termination of his race duties.
