Ocon exit was 'best interest' for Haas, says boss
Haas boss Ayao Komatsu has said removing Esteban Ocon was a decision he had to make for the best of the team.
Ocon was withdrawn midway through last week's Mexican Grand Prix, with the Frenchman admitting to a disagreement with his team.
The 30-year-old swiftly denied reports that there had been a violent altercation but Haas confirmed this week that the Frenchman -- already leaving at the end of the season -- would not drive for them again.
Speaking on Saturday ahead of this weekend's São Paulo Grand Prix, Komatsu said he could not give details due to the ongoing process but was comfortable he had done the right thing for Haas.
