The TGR Haas F1 Team has just revealed the livery for its car in the 2026 Formula 1 World Championship season. The design is undeniably eye-catching, and maintains the red, white and black colour scheme we saw in the 2025 season (albeit with a little more white this time).
This year, the American team enters its 11th F1 season, with Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon eager to turn Haas' fortunes around.
Haas finished 8th in the 10-team Constructors' Championship in 2025, beating Kick Sauber and Alpine, but finishing behind midfield rivals Racing Bulls and Aston Martin. In 2026, there will also be new competition to deal with from Cadillac.
Last December, Haas announced a title partnership with Toyota Gazoo Racing, the motorsport competition and research and development division of Toyota Motor Corporation. That logo is front and centre here for what could be an exciting new era for the team amid a series of sweeping regulation changes.
Haas, Founder and Owner of TGR Haas F1 Team, said today, "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," he continued. "Personally, I’m 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."
Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal of TGR Haas F1 Team (who replaced the fan-favourite Guenther Steiner in 2023) added, "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."
"Track time is going to be crucial through Spain and Bahrain and while we know there’s going to be challenges along the way, we do this because we’re passionate about Formula 1," he concluded.
With so many changes being made to F1 in 2026, teams like Haas stand a chance to break through the pack to find new success. It's far too soon to say whether that will extend to race wins, but Ocon is a proven talent, and Bearman's star is on the rise.
