Haas show off their new livery

Haas have unveiled their 2026 Formula 1 challenger, and a striking white and red livery in a series of digital renders on social media.

The American team have stuck to their traditional approach of launching online before revealing their machine when it first hits the race track – rather than a bespoke event.

Haas will run an unchanged line-up of Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman for their 11th season in Formula 1, with Ayao Komatsu continuing to lead the operation as team principal.

Their reveal offered another glimpse into what we can expect from Formula 1’s sweeping new chassis and power unit rules that will feature smaller and lighter race cars with engines that have a 50-50 power split between fuel and electric and run advanced sustainable fuel.

The revised livery, which is predominantly white, also features increased branding from Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR), who have expanded their collaboration with the team into a title partnership for 2026.

Like all teams, we’ve faced the challenge of competing in 2025 while looking to design and now build these new-regulation entries for the 2026 season. The 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’s competition in the midfield was of an exceptionally high standard, it was tough, and we need to go out again and continue to develop – both on and off-track.

It feels almost a bit surreal to be unveiling a new car this early in the year but it’s not any less exciting venturing into a new F1 campaign – especially one with such a change in regulations. We’re fully focused on being ready for Shakedown Week in Barcelona. It’s 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’t wait to see how these cars will perform and what we’ll face as we then progress through our test programs ahead of Australia.
Komatsu added.
