Haas F1 Show Off New Look for a Season of Change
Haas aims for rapid development amid F1's biggest technical changes with new hybrid engines, aerodynamic rules, and a 50/50 combustion-electric power split, team principal said.
- Jan 19, Haas F1 Team posted digital renders of the VF-26 online, revealing their 2026 design with drivers Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman and Toyota Gazoo Racing as title sponsor.
- Formula One is entering a new engine and aerodynamic era with thinner, lighter cars featuring narrower tyres and a 50/50 combustion/electric split using sustainable fuel.
- Esteban Ocon said `...learn a new driving style...` and noted good simulator balance, while team principal Ayao Komatsu called the early unveiling 'almost a bit surreal' after a monumental effort.
- Testing starts behind closed doors in Barcelona on January 26, as teams prepare to evaluate new cars; early-season reliability and mistakes may shape the pecking order in the first four races.
- Manufacturers' supply plans mean engine allocations differ across the grid; Mercedes supplies four teams, Ferrari three including newcomer Cadillac, while Red Bull, Audi, and Honda have defined roles with new boost, overtake, and movable wings.
