Haas has completed its line-up for next season following the announcement of its signing of Esteban Ocon.
Ocon will depart Alpine at the conclusion of the current campaign to complete a switch to the Ferrari customer team, where he will partner rookie Oliver Bearman.
The Frenchman will become the first F1 race winner to drive for the American outfit and will be its experienced driver, with Bearman only having one grand prix start to his name.
Team principal Ayao Komatsu has previously worked with Ocon at Lotus in 2014, who the Frenchman completed his first F1 test for. Haas signing Ocon means the outfit will have an entirely new driver pairing, with Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg both leaving.
Ocon has proven to have exceptional pace at times and has featured on an F1 podium on three occasions, although he has also faced his fair share of difficult moments.
Has Haas made the right choice signing Ocon?
