I feel like this came out of nowhere, but this seems like it’s going to be a giant benefit for Haas as a team. We could very likely see Toyota Haas in the next couple years. It’d be huge for them to move away from the dependency on Dallara for both design and manufacturing and could see them become a whole lot more competitive
Toyota will provide “design, technical and manufacturing services” to Haas as part of a new, multi-year deal between the two. Haas says it will supply “technical expertise and commercial benefits in return.” Toyota junior drivers will be able to drive Haas cars (in private tests and/or FP1 outings).
The new deal will not affect Haas’ current arrangement with Ferrari, who supply their power units, gearboxes and some other parts. The two companies recently extended until 2028.
So does this mean Haas won't use Dallara anymore?
I would be surprised if they ditch Dallara. But no idea. Maybe Dallara will work together with Toyota and Haas personnel?
Haas domination incoming.
