Last week, the new pairing made their debut public appearance with Haas at the F1 75 Live launch in London, but Ocon has technically already stepped out as a Haas F1 driver after being dropped by his former team before the 2024 season finale in Abu Dhabi.

Alpine released a statement over Ocon's early exit with just one race to go last year, citing his end-of-season test with Haas as the reason for the premature departure.

Bearman on the other hand signed with Haas for his first full-time race seat in F1 although he isn't technically a rookie anymore after his impressive performances as a reserve driver for Ferrari and Haas last season.
