Haas keeps Jack Doohan’s future open after 2026 season

Team principal Ayao Komatsu said that no decision had been made about Jack Doohan’s role for the 2027 season. The Australian joined the team as a reserve driver in 2026 alongside Ryo Hirakawa, a move that many saw as a step toward a return to Formula 1 after a trial stint with Alpine. Meanwhile, Rafael Camara was promoted to the 2027 grid, likely paired with Ollie Bearman, and Esteban Ocon’s future with Haas has become uncertain, leaving Doohan’s full‑time seat in doubt.

Komatsu explained that the selection process for the replacement of Ocon was very tough and that all drivers who took part in the TPC test performed very well, including Rafa, Leo Fornaroli, Ryo Hirakawa and Jack Doohan. He added that the team had been talking with Doohan and his manager about possibilities beyond the 2026 season, indicating that the door is still open for the Australian.
