Haas F1 Team is an American Formula 1 (F1) racing team that competes in the Formula 1 World Championship.

Founded by Gene Haas, the team made its debut in 2016 and quickly became known for its efficiency, strategic partnerships, and unique approach to F1 racing. Despite being one of the newer teams on the grid, Haas F1 Team has made a significant impact in the world of motorsport.

The Haas F1 Team debuted in the 2016 Formula 1 season, becoming the first American F1 team in over 30 years. The team entered Formula 1 with a fresh approach, leveraging strategic partnerships with established F1 teams to hit the ground running. Notably, Haas formed a technical partnership with Ferrari, allowing the team to use Ferrari’s power units (engines), gearboxes, and other key components.

Haas F1’s partnership with Ferrari has been critical to their early success. Using Ferrari's engines and gearboxes allowed them to focus on chassis development without the expense of creating their own power unit, giving them a competitive edge in the early seasons.

As one of the only American teams in F1, Haas F1 brings a unique presence to the grid, representing the U.S. on an international stage. The team's involvement in F1 has helped raise awareness of the sport in the U.S., and Haas’ success is closely tied to the growth of Formula 1’s popularity in North America.
