Haas has announced an extension of its technical partnership with Ferrari, including the use of power units, through to at least the end of the 2028 season.
Ferrari has supplied Haas with multiple components – including power unit, gearbox and suspension – as part of its deal since the American team entered Formula 1 at the start of the 2016 season. Since then Haas has enjoyed a best finish of fifth in the constructors’ championship in 2018, and currently sits seventh this season, just four points behind RB.

In announcing the extension of the Ferrari partnership into what will be its 13th season come 2028 – amid new power unit regulations coming into effect in 2026 – Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu says it provides stability for the team to continue to grow.
“I’m thrilled to extend our relationship with Scuderia Ferrari until 2028,” Komatsu said. “As an organization we’ve only ever raced with Ferrari power units and to have that continued stability moving into the next set of power unit regulations is a key part of our on-going development.
“The relationship with Scuderia Ferrari has always been a special one to us – they were instrumental in the genesis of the program back in the early days and have continued to be a valuable technical partner to us throughout the past nine seasons.
“I’m delighted we now have more seasons ahead and my thanks go to Fred Vasseur and many others at Scuderia Ferrari for continuing to show faith in our project. This announcement is just another example of the long-term ambition of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team – our investment and growth in the sport continues.”
RACER understands that recent discussions regarding a potential collaboration between Haas and Toyota are unaffected by the Ferrari extension, with talks ongoing with the Japanese automotive company over future common ground.
