TGR Haas F1 Team unveiled today the bold design and dynamic new livery of its VF-26 entry \u2013 to be raced in the 2026 FIA Formula 1 World Championship by Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon in this year\u2019s 24-round championship commencing at the Australian Grand Prix, March 6-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American squad, entering its 11th season in Formula 1, presented the VF-26 across a series of digital renders on its social media platforms \u2013 the new-look white livery with red accents adorning the car designed to Formula 1\u2019s newest innovative set of regulations. With cars becoming smaller, lighter and more agile \u2013 with significantly less downforce and drag, the VF-26 sports reduced dimensions and narrower Pirelli tires while the Ferrari power-unit utilized shifts to a 50\/50 split between internal combustion<\/a> and electric power using 100 percent sustainable fuel.

With an expanding portfolio of team partners heading into the 2026 season, the livery significantly reflects the commencement of the title partnership announced last December with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) \u2013 the motorsport competition and research and development division of Toyota Motor Corporation. While the Japanese company recently announced a new brand structure to be implemented across this year, with GAZOO Racing and TOYOTA Racing incorporating differing remits \u2013 TGR Haas F1 Team will display the TGR branding throughout the season.

Having first entered a multi-year technical partnership together in October 2024, the title partnership deal highlights the core objectives of the relationship between Haas F1 Team and GAZOO Racing \u2013 focusing on \u2018People, Product, Pipeline\u2019, which includes the development of essential human resources such as drivers, engineers and mechanics to build a sustainable motorsports industry and culture.

\u201cLike all teams, we\u2019ve faced the challenge of competing in 2025 while looking to design and now build these new-regulation entries for the 2026 season\u201d, said Gene Haas, Founder and Owner of TGR Haas F1 Team. \u201cThe pre-season will be crucial to understand what these cars are capable of and how the drivers, engineers and teams in general adapt to them. We at least have continuity in terms of the drivers, with Ollie (Bearman) and Esteban (Ocon), as well as in our design and engineering teams. Last season\u2019s competition in the midfield was of an exceptionally high standard, it was tough, and we need to go out again and continue to develop \u2013 both on and off-track. Personally, I\u2019m going to be very interested to see how the competition shakes out across the grid and what these new regulations bring in terms of performance.\u201d

\u201cIt feels almost a bit surreal to be unveiling a new car this early in the year but it\u2019s not any less exciting venturing into a new F1 campaign \u2013 especially one with such a change in regulations,\u201d commented Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal of TGR Haas F1 Team. \u201cWe\u2019re fully focused on being ready for Shakedown Week in Barcelona. It\u2019s been a monumental effort from everyone on the team to work with such a tight turnaround time from the end of last season to putting cars on track in January. It goes without saying that after so much talk, we can\u2019t wait to see how these cars will perform and what we\u2019ll face as we then progress through our test programs ahead of Australia. Track time is going to be crucial through Spain and Bahrain and while we know there\u2019s going to be challenges along the way, we do this because we\u2019re passionate about Formula 1.\u201d

TGR Haas F1 Team will be on-track for the first time this season at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Spain for the Shakedown Week, January 26-30 \u2013 with each team permitted three days of track time followed by two further official tests at the Bahrain International Circuit, February 11-13 and 18-20 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
