Haas reveals 2026 F1 car with increased Toyota branding

Haas has revealed its 2026 Formula 1 car, the VF-26, with increased branding from its title partner Toyota Gazoo Racing.
Haas is displaying more significant TGR branding on its F1 car in 2026, with prominent logos on the top of the engine cover/shark fin as well as on the front wing.
The team has enjoyed a partnership with Toyota since October 2024, one that's expanding in 2026.
Ironically earlier this month Toyota announced a rejig of its wider branding strategy that basically wipes the 'Toyota Gazoo Racing' moniker out.
Toyota and Gazoo Racing have been split, so 'TGR' is no longer a thing. The European company has been rebranded as Toyota Racing. But the F1 team will still be 'TGR Haas F1 team'.
Haas is the first team to show full renders of its 2026 car, after Red Bull's two F1 teams showcased their 2026 liveries on showcars that were interpretations of the regulations, rather than their 2026 design.
Cadillac and Audi released some imagery of their shakedowns (and spy shots emerged), but they're yet to fully show off their 2026 challengers.

This version of the Haas VF-26 is still likely to be different from what appears in the first pre-season test at Barcelona next week, as development continues at a pace for all teams.
And anyway, as Haas team boss Ayao Komatsu said in a Q&A released alongside the launch images, "the car everyone will see in Barcelona [testing] won't be the car that races in Australia" and it will have evolved plenty before the two Bahrain tests in-between.
However, there are still some early takeaways from the Haas renders, aside from the increase in white on the livery.
Those include a pushrod front and rear suspension, the latter a change from the pullrod used in 2025.
That strongly indicates its power unit, gearbox and rear suspension supplier Ferrari will also use a pushrod front and rear suspension, having moved to pullrod front and rear suspension last year under the previous ruleset.
Haas is fielding an unchanged driver line-up of Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon in 2026, and will once again be Ferrari-powered in its 11th F1 season.
Rather than setting "sporting targets", Komatsu said getting on top of the new, complex engines will be key in testing and the early races.
"Firstly, before we go racing, and even testing, we need to get on top of energy management, that's the huge one," Komatsu explained.

"I don't know if we all understand the full extent of the challenge because we don't know what we don't know. Then with aero development, we're reasonably happy with what we've done so far, but as with all new regulations, the question will be, is the target we've set good enough?
"When we get testing, I'm sure we're going to see different concepts, and if we've missed something, we need to get on it very quickly.
"For the first few races, rather than setting a sporting target, it's more a target for us. First and foremost, get on top of PU management, then aerodynamic development."
