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.[1] The VF-26 saw its first track running at the Barcelona shakedown test in January 2026.[2]
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).[3][4] 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.[5][6]
Competition and development history
The VF-26 made its competitive debut at the 2026 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.[citation needed]
