Esteban Ocon's performance at the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix saw him finish 17th for Haas F1 Team, a single position lower than his starting grid of 16, after completing all 44 laps at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. The French driver crossed the finish line with a total race time of "+1:50.925" behind the leader, Andrea Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes.
