Haas, as one of the Formula 1 teams with a smaller budget, loves to reveal their liveries year in and year out through a series of online with a render of social media posts and a video on youtube. This year was no different.
The American team has decided to go for a white and red look for their 11th season on the grid. Their lineup remains unchanged with Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman being led by Team principle Ayao Komatsu. The livery is reminiscent of old colour schemes but is boasting a new relationship with Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR). They have upgraded their previous collaboration into a title sponsorship and therefore can be found on both the front wing and the engine cover of the 2026 car.
Technical Director Andrea De Zordo said work on the VF-26 “actually started in the second half of 2024 with a small group looking at the concept of the new car” with a full switch over of resources being triggered after last year’s summer break.
It will remain to be seen where Haas will place in the constructors championship after an eighth place finish in 2025.
