The Race F1 Podcast · How Toyota is helping transform F1’s smallest team · 13 May 2026 podcast

It's a very pertinent question.

I think the main thing at the moment is that the ceiling has been raised for what Haas can achieve or what it can do in the short term and in the longer term.

And then how much really depends on other factors.

So how invested does Toyota really want to get longer term?

But also, to come back to what we were discussing in the first part, at what point is Gene either going to put his hand in his pocket again or...

just just relinquish part of the team bring in external investment whether that's Toyota or whether that's from um somewhere else a private equity group whatever because it's not going to have any shortage of offers but there's no real indication he really wants to spend much of his own cash and if that doesn't happen you can't just raise one side of it so what Toyota can bring is um

basically an evolution of what we've seen so far in terms of personnel is maybe a basic way of saying it because that's what's facilitated the TPC program.

That's what's, you know, helping them with an installation of a simulator as well as obviously that equipment.

But there's a lot more that Toyota could do in terms of that European facility that it's got.

Could it take on more production work, more design work longer term?

Will it be a way of, you know, in the same way that, you know, Ferrari personnel end up working for Haas for a while?

Toyota wants to use this to grow its people.

And you see it with the drivers, how many different Toyota drivers have taken part in the testing program, but it's also engineers.

So what kind of talent do they have within those ranks that could join and bolster the Haas workforce?

So I would say kind of the scope of what it's capable of doing and the strength in depth of the people doing it are obvious areas in which Toyota can support Haas in the sort of medium term.

Then longer term, what does it want to do?

Does it want to make this kind of

Toyota F1 through the back door, does it want to be even more overt than that and just make it its works team?

Does it want to build an engine eventually?

I suspect that's not necessarily on the table because Haas, I think, see the Ferrari deal was very much critical to the way it goes about things in the medium term, maybe even the long term as well.
