Toyota Gazoo Racing will become the title partner of the Haas Formula 1 team next year in a deal that will strengthen the ties between the Japanese motor company and the American racing team.
Toyota's motorsport arm, known as Toyota Gazoo Racing, became a technical partner of Haas last October and has worked directly with the team this year, including the running of a testing of a previous car (TPC) programme.
The new deal will see Toyota Gazoo Racing replace Haas' existing title sponsor Moneygram for 2026 and continue its technical collaboration with the racing team.
Haas also confirmed that it will launch next year's livery on January 23 before its 2026 car, known as the VF-26, makes its track debut at a private F1 test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from January 26 to January 30.
"It's naturally a privilege to deepen our relationship with TGR through this new title partnership agreement," Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu said of the new deal. "Our working relationship to-date has been everything we hoped it would be.
"It's been evidenced through our successful TPC running this season but there's been so much more going on behind the scenes too - including the development and installation of the simulator at our Banbury facility for 2026.
"The cultivation of personnel, all working collaboratively between Haas F1 Team and TGR, has benefited us greatly and that's something that will only increase as our partnership matures. We're excited to further grow with the likes of our driver program too, and it's been encouraging to see the depth of talent TGR is backing in that process."
Haas' TPC programme this year included 14 days of testing across Silverstone, Paul Ricard, Fuji Speedway, Imola and Mugello, with Toyota-backed drivers Ryō Hirakawa, Ritomo Miyata, Sho Tsuboi and Kamui Kobayashi all taking turns behind the wheel of a 2023 Haas F1 car.
"Throughout our challenges in the 2025 season, I witnessed young TGR drivers and engineers begin to believe in their own potential and set their sights on even greater dreams," Akio Toyoda, Chairman of Toyota Motor Corporation, said. "Seeing this transformation moved me deeply. And today, I can say this with confidence, Toyota has finally begun to move - really move.
"By taking our partnership with Haas another step forward next year, TGR's 'People, Product, Pipeline' mantra - will accelerate in a way we have never seen before. The time has come for the next generation to take their first steps toward the world stage. Together with Gene Haas, Ayao, and everyone at TGR Haas F1 Team, we will build both a culture and a team for the future. Toyota is now truly on the move."
