Haas VF-26 Ferrari F1 TGR 5° Chinese GP Shanghai 2026

A sensational start<?xml:namespace prefix="o" />

 

It seems somewhat anachronistic that, on the one hand, the Haas Formula 1 Team uses Ferrari 067/6 V6 engines, whilst at the same time cooperating closely with Toyota Gazoo Racing as a technical partner. The GR logo of Gazoo Racing features prominently on the cars, and in 2026, TGR from Toyota will even lend its name to the TGR Haas F1 Team. It was already evident in 2025 that the collaboration in simulator development and the exchange of engineers – spearheaded by team principal Ayao Komatsu since 2024 – was beginning to bear fruit, as Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman regularly finished in the points during the second half of the season.

 

Following an impressive 7th place at the 2026 season opener in Australia, Oliver Bearman caused a real sensation in the Haas VF-26 at the second Grand Prix in China. Behind the two dominant Mercedes and the two fast Ferraris, the 21-year-old Briton crossed the finish line in Shanghai in a sensational fifth place. For 20 laps, he had Max Verstappen hot on his heels and kept his nerve, holding off the former champion until Verstappen retired on lap 44. After China, the competition caught up strongly and Oliver Bearman has only managed to finish in the points once since then. The sensational early season was, in any case, a huge motivational boost for the TGR Haas team.
