Haas F1 Launch: VF-25 Livery and Ambitions for 2025

Haas has officially revealed its 2025 Formula 1 car and livery, following a successful shakedown of the VF-25 last Sunday. With F1’s first-ever collective season launch restricting teams from releasing official images before the O2 Arena event, Haas has now published proper renders and imagery from its Silverstone test.

The team’s 2025 driver pairing, Esteban Ocon and rookie Ollie Bearman, took the stage alongside team principal Ayao Komatsu, who enters his second year at the helm.

“To be heading into our tenth Formula 1 season with real belief in our ability to compete is incredibly exciting,” said Komatsu. “The way this team has come together has been fantastic, and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve with the VF-25.”

Komatsu credited Haas’ global operations—spanning Kannapolis, Banbury, and Maranello—for their unified approach to development. “Our design office in Italy, under Andrea De Zordo’s leadership, has worked relentlessly to evolve the strong foundation of the VF-24. We’ve taken those strengths, refined them, and applied them to the VF-25,” he added.

Technical director Andrea De Zordo emphasized the team’s growing cohesion. “2024 was a long and demanding season, but for me, the collaboration between our Italian and UK operations was a major highlight. We’re far more aligned, we communicate extensively, and that synergy is making a real impact,” he explained.

Haas has also made strides in its aerodynamic department, with head of aerodynamics Davide Paganelli highlighting the team’s increasing confidence. “Last year, we grew significantly in terms of design resources, and we now know we can push even further. The energy in the design office is outstanding—there’s a real belief that we can deliver.”

After finishing seventh in the 2024 constructors’ championship—its best result in years—Haas is aiming to build on that momentum. With a car that carries forward key strengths from its predecessor and a team that feels more unified than ever, 2025 presents a crucial opportunity for further progress.

The usual Haas color scheme, but with a notable adjustment to the grey/black layout. Haas simultaneously released on-track images of its actual 2025 car from last weekend’s Silverstone shakedown alongside its livery launch on stage at the O2.
