Haas will rebrand as TGR Haas F1 Team starting in the 2026 Formula 1 season, marking a significant expansion of their partnership with Toyota. The Japanese manufacturer will apply its Toyota Gazoo Racing name to the American outfit, officially returning to F1 branding. Crucially, Haas will continue to use Ferrari power units in 2026, maintaining a core part of their identity. This move formalizes a technical collaboration that began last October, which has already seen Toyota’s technical staff work alongside Haas and its junior drivers test F1 cars. Team Principal Ayao Komatsu praised the partnership's early success, highlighting its impact on driver development and facility improvements like a new simulator. The expanded deal also renames their young driver program to the TGR Haas Driver Development Program. Notably, IndyCar race-winner James Hinchcliffe was among those who sampled Haas's two-year-old cars this year. This deepening relationship could inject stability and resources into the American team, offering a promising new chapter for their competitive future under the new regulations.
