Haas enters into the 2025 season with an all-new F1 driver line-up as Oliver Bearman joins forces with Esteban Ocon.
Following the departures of Nico Hulkenberg to Sauber and Kevin Magnussen out of F1, it is the second time the team will start a campaign with an all-new pairing, following on from Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin in 2021.
The team will be hoping Ferrari protégé Bearman and Alpine exile Ocon will fare a little better than Schumacher and Mazepin, as they endured a point-less tricky season.
Bearman is regarded as the 'next cab off the Ferrari rank' in terms of junior drivers, having taken Schumacher's place once his F1 career ended at the end of 2022.
The Briton is to be pitted against Ocon, who departed Alpine after five seasons in which he secured his first grand prix victory at the 2021 Hungarian GP.
In his career, Ocon has proved to be a reliable midfield points scorer, finishing in the points on 85 occasions, including four on the podium.
The Frenchman will be expected to serve as team leader, but will the highly-rated Bearman finish ahead?
