Haas F1 Team

MoneyGram Haas F1 Team are an American constructor based in Kannapolis, North Carolina, running Ferrari power units and fielding Esteban Ocon (car #31) and Oliver Bearman (car #87) in 2026. Founded by Gene Haas in 2016 as the first US-led team to enter F1 since the 1980s, the team operates with a lean, efficiency-focused model built around smart partnerships and pragmatic engineering.

For 2026, Haas field Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon. Bearman, the young British talent from the Ferrari Driver Academy, showed exceptional composure when called up for substitute appearances and earned a full-time seat with his raw pace and maturity beyond his years. Ocon brings proven development abilities, a race victory at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix, and the experience needed to anchor the team's technical programme during a regulation transition.

In their first decade in F1, Haas achieved a best Constructors' Championship finish of fifth in 2018, proving that their unconventional operating model could deliver competitive results. The team has scored 14 top-ten championship finishes in their brief history, with Kevin Magnussen, Romain Grosjean, and Nico Hulkenberg among the drivers who have represented the team. Their partnership with Ferrari for power units and certain listed components gives them access to front-running technology without the expense of developing their own engine.

Haas operate a split structure, with their race team based in Kannapolis, North Carolina, and engineering support from Dallara in Maranello, Italy. This unconventional model has proven viable and allows the team to leverage expertise from multiple locations. For 2026, they continue to use Ferrari power units, maintaining a technical partnership that has been the foundation of their competitiveness.

American fans have three home races in 2026: the Miami Grand Prix in May at 15:00 EDT, the United States Grand Prix in Austin in October at 14:00 CDT, and the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November at 23:00 PST. The spread across US time zones means at least one event offers convenient viewing regardless of where you are in the country.
