MoneyGram Haas F1 Team completed the 2025 Formula 1 season with Esteban Ocon seventh, and Oliver Bearman 12th, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, held Sunday at Yas Marina Circuit.
Esteban took the start from eighth position on Pirelli P Zero Yellow medium tires and held ninth place through the opening lap, before pitting on lap 18 for White hard tires. The Frenchman emerged in 16th but worked his way through the yet-to-stop traffic to emerge in seventh position, including passing both Sauber drivers. Esteban maintained seventh through to the checkered flag, holding off seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, to add six points to MoneyGram Haas F1 Team’s tally.
MoneyGram Haas F1 Team finishes the 2025 season in eighth place in the Constructors’ Championship on 79 points.
Up front Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen claimed victory, ahead of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris – with Norris securing his maiden Formula 1 World Championship.
Esteban Ocon: “I’m very happy to finish the year this way. I think it was a really strong race from our side, and it was the maximum that we could’ve done. We fought with Fernando Alonso the whole race, it was definitely a big fight as he was matching my middle sector, it was really close, and there was a lot of overtaking all the way to the end. It wasn't quite enough to finish ahead of Aston Martin in the Constructors’ Championship. It’s a bittersweet taste, but it’s definitely a good last race that gives us a solid platform to build on next year."
