Komatsu was clear that the agreement with Toyota would have no bearing on the Ferrari relationship, which was extended to the end of 2028 in July. When talks with Toyota started earlier this year, he ensured total clarity and transparency with Ferrari, calling it the “foundation” of the Haas team.

In a move set to reshape the competitive landscape of Formula 1, Haas F1 Team has struck a landmark technical partnership with Toyota Gazoo Racing.
