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

But yeah, I mean, right now, what Toyota's offering has raised the ceiling quite nicely.

But what I'm not sure, and I don't know how you feel about this, I really don't know whether it's Toyota's appetite or Jean's appetite that is going to be the next bottleneck.

Yeah, and that's kind of exactly how it was envisaged when it was set up as that technical partnership in October 2024.

The whole point, and Aya Komatsu, the Haas team principal, talked about this at the time, was that they would basically see how it goes.

Like, where are going to be the areas that both can benefit?

How can it be escalated?

So, you know, the test program and the commitment to doing a simulator came around quite quickly.

But then for 2026, and you mentioned it earlier,

they expanded into the title partnership role as well.

And that is something that's given it a lot more prominence.

But an example of how not like, I don't want to say ill thought through, but to your point that it isn't this, you know, super well strategized, it's going to be over this many years and each year we're going to do this.

Toyota rebranded that Toyota Gazoo Racing element and the way it sort of splits its works programs and its supported programs.

literally as Haas was announcing itself as like TGR Haas F1 team for the year.

So Haas carries the initials of something that doesn't actually exist within the Toyota structure as of the start of this year.

And that's an example of how like the kind of ad hoc nature of expanding this can potentially play against it.

I would say that the...

The main thing that I think I'd like them to avoid is while the idea of utilising that Cologne facility is all well and good, I don't think that should happen unless it comes when raining back, pulling back something else.

I think it would be a mistake if there was too much of a dependency on yet another location in the mix.

It's taken Haas a very long time.

Kamatsu's done a very good job on this side with his technical leadership team.
