Haas extends partnership with engine provider Ferrari until 2028

KANNAPOLIS, NC (AP) — The Haas Formula 1 team has extended its partnership with engine provider Ferrari until the end of the 2028 season.

Haas said in a statement Tuesday that the deal “provides long-term engine stability” with the next major change in regulations due in 2026.

To improve sustainability, the 1.6-litre, V6 turbocharged hybrid internal combustion engines will have more power from the hybrid components. The power units will also run on fully sustainable fuels for the first time.

Ferrari has been the only engine provider for Haas since their F1 partnership began in 2016. Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix will be their 179th race together.

“I’m thrilled to extend our relationship with Scuderia Ferrari until 2028,” Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu said. "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.”

Haas is set for a driver shakeup next year, with teenage British driver Oliver Bearman replacing German veteran Nico Hulkenberg, who is joining Sauber ahead of its rebranding to Audi for 2026.

Danish driver Kevin Magnussen is reportedly being replaced by Frenchman Esteban Ocon, who is leaving Alpine next year with Magnussen possibly taking his seat there.

Haas is seventh in the constructors' championship this season with 27 points, having taken a healthy haul of 20 points from the past two races.
