F1: Haas Reveal Special Cherry Blossom Livery Ahead of Japanese Grand Prix

Haas F1 has unveiled a special white and pink cherry blossom livery for the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix, contrasting with their usual red, white, and black colours. It pays tribute to Japan's natural beauty and will stand out on the dark Suzuka Circuit asphalt. The livery also marks Haas's growing connection with Japan, highlighted by a new technical partnership with Toyota. This is Toyota's first F1 collaboration since 2009, offering Haas design and engineering support.

The cherry blossom livery reflects the influence of Japanese team principal Ayao Komatsu. He took charge after Guenther Steiner's departure, guiding Haas into a new era. The Toyota Gazoo Racing partnership strengthens the team’s links to Japan, making Suzuka feel like a home race despite Haas's American roots. Komatsu’s leadership, along with new drivers Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman, has helped Haas climb to sixth place in the constructors' standings.

Since partnering with Toyota, the Japanese Grand Prix has become a key event for Haas. The cherry blossom livery showcases Haas's evolving identity and Toyota's growing influence. With eye-catching cars and improved performance, Haas sees Suzuka as a standout race. Backed by a growing Japanese fanbase, they aim to make a strong impact.

Haas Team Principal Ayao Komatsu said: 'After a very successful weekend in Shanghai, we’re energized to come to Japan. Suzuka is a very challenging circuit both for drivers and engineers to setup the car right. Even though we raced competitively in Shanghai, we know that we still carry a fundamental car issue that was exposed in Melbourne. We’re going into this weekend with our eyes wide open to tackle any challenges we might face and aim to get the best out of the VF-25 and our drivers.'
