Ocon still hopes for F1 return as Cadillac seat remains a possible route

Esteban Ocon remains hopeful of returning to Formula 1, but his options for a 2027 seat are limited, RacingNews365 reports. The outlet points to Cadillac's second seat as his remaining possible route back.

Ocon has made 198 grand prix starts and won once. Haas dropped him earlier than expected in 2026, and Rafael Camara is already set to take over the seat full-time in 2027; the report says a return to Haas is not going to happen.

RacingNews365 also flags Sergio Perez as a possible complication, citing frequent clashes between the pair when they were Force India and Racing Point team-mates in 2017 and 2018. Valtteri Bottas had yet to be confirmed for Cadillac's second seat.
