The Haas F1 Team has officially announced a major rebranding for the 2026 season, stepping into a new era as the TGR Haas F1 Team. This move solidifies the technical alliance between the American squad and Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR), marking Toyota’s most significant presence in Formula 1 since 2009.
Key Highlights of the Partnership:
- New Identity: Starting in 2026, the team will compete under the TGR Haas F1 name, featuring a fresh logo that integrates the iconic Gazoo Racing branding.
- Technical Synergy: While Haas will continue to utilize Ferrari power units through 2028, Toyota will provide extensive R&D support, including the installation of a new high-tech simulator at the team’s Banbury base.
- Talent Pipeline: The collaboration focuses on the TGR Haas Driver Development Program, which has already begun testing with talents like Ryo Hirakawa and Kamui Kobayashi to create a pathway for Japanese engineers and drivers.
Looking Ahead
Team Principal Ayao Komatsu highlighted that the partnership is already yielding results in efficiency and technical depth. Fans can expect to see the new look in action when the VF-26 livery is officially unveiled on January 23, 2026.
With a confirmed driver lineup of Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman, the TGR Haas F1 Team is positioning itself as a serious mid-field threat under the upcoming 2026 regulation changes.
