Haas-VF-26-Release-2026

Haas have decided to reveal their 2026 Formula 1 challenger, the VF-26, on January 19 instead of the original date set for January 23.

Haas seem to have felt their original date was becoming crowded as Ferrari and Alpine are set to reveal their 2026 F1 cars on the 23rd of January.
They will share digital renders and videos of the VF-26 initially.
The American outfit will enter their 2026 campaign with Toyota as their title sponsor as the Japanese giant upgraded their technical partnership with the Gene Haas-owned team as they seem to be edging closer to a return to F1.
However, the VF-26 will still be powered by Ferrari who will be building a new power unit based on the new for 2026 F1 regulations.
Haas will field the same driver lineup in the upcoming season in the form of Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman, the latter entering his second full season in the top flight.
Haas finished their 2025 season, eighth in the F1 Constructors' Championship with 79 points on the board.
