Esteban kicks off his second season as a TGR Haas F1 Team driver for the 2026 FIA Formula 1 World Championship campaign.

2025 was Esteban’s 8th full-time season in Formula 1. He ended the season with 38 points in the Drivers' World Championship Standings in what was an up and down year on track. There were a couple of highlights during the season, most notably Esteban's impressive P5 finish in China, and P7 in both Monaco and Abu Dhabi.

TGR Haas F1 Team is Esteban's fourth Team in Formula 1, following stints at Manor, Racing Point, and Renault/Alpine. The 29-year-old has started 180 Grands Prix and accumulated 483 points during that time since making his Formula 1 debut as a teenager at the Belgian Grand Prix in 2016.

His best qualifying performance to date remains his superb 3rd place in Belgium in 2018, while his best race result is his stunning debut victory at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix.

In 2026, Esteban  again partners up with British driver Oliver Bearman as teammate, with Ayao Komatsu, his first-ever F1 race engineer, as Team Principal.
