First Pictures: Haas Reveals Its New F1 Car For 2025

Haas has presented its latest car design for 2025 as the team heads into this year’s championship with an all-new driver line-up.

Esteban Ocon has joined the team from Alpine. His team mate is Oliver Bearman, a Ferrari Driver Academy member who is beginning his first full season in F1.

As the team uncovered its livery at F1’s pre-season launch event in London, it also released the first official images of its new VF-25. Ocon drove the car in a shakedown test at a damp Silverstone on Sunday.

Bearman is due to drive the car for the first time when the team conducts another run at the Bahrain International Circuit on Monday next week. The sole, three-day pre-season test for all 10 F1 teams will take place there at the end of next week.

Haas was one of the surprise performers of last season. Having fallen to last in the championship the year before, they rebounded to finish seventh after new team principal Ayao Komatsu took charge.

Team owner and chairman Gene Haas said: “We had a very encouraging year in 2024, so I’m naturally looking forward to seeing further progress made this season with the VF-25.”

“The team really pulled together last year, both on and off-track,” he continued, “and obviously now we have two new drivers in Esteban and Ollie to incorporate into the team and hopefully keep us headed in the right direction. It was exciting to see the developments made last season and I’m trusting that momentum will continue to grow and translate into further performance gains.”

Heading into his second year in charge of the team, Komatsu said the staff at its three sites in the USA, UK and Italy have prepared well for the coming season.

“All our functions across Kannapolis, Banbury and Maranello have been working hard to ensure we can hit the ground running again in Bahrain,” he said. “Our design office in Italy, under the guidance of Andrea De Zordo, have worked tirelessly to evolve the successful concept we had with the VF-24, and its upgrades, and build on those strengths and apply into the VF-25 design.”
