The Haas VF-26 is a Formula One racing car designed and built by the Haas F1 Team to compete in the 2026 Formula One World Championship. It is currently being driven by Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman, both in their second season with the team.

Background

Development

The VF-26 was designed under the leadership of Technical Director Andrea De Zordo. Development began in the second half of 2024, with a full transition of resources occurring after the 2025 summer break. The VF-26 saw its first track running at the Barcelona shakedown test in January 2026.

Livery

The car was officially unveiled in a digital launch on 19 January 2026, sporting a new white and red livery that reflects the team's expanded title partnership with Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR). Haas will race a Godzilla-themed livery for the Japanese and United States Grands Prix after the team signed a season-long collaboration deal with Toho. The latter grand prix's livery is used to promote Godzilla Minus Zero.

Competition and development history

The VF-26 made its competitive debut at the 2026 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.^{[citation needed]}
