Haas F1 Team 2027 strategic planning
Overview
Haas F1 Team is focusing on strategic planning for the 2027 season, specifically regarding its driver lineup and financial growth.
To evaluate potential candidates for the second seat, the team scheduled testing in Jerez with Jack Doohan. While Oliver Bearman is expected to remain with the team, other contenders for the remaining position include Rafael Camara and Ryo Hirakawa. Team Principal Ayao Komatsu has emphasized that performance is the “absolute priority” for the 2027 lineup, stating that the team will not select drivers based on commercial value or manufacturer affiliations if they are slower than other candidates.
Financially, the team is working to increase its budget toward the Formula 1 cap to fund improvements in infrastructure, tooling, and headcount. Komatsu confirmed discussions with several potential partners. While there has been speculation regarding BWT, Komatsu noted that the team will not adopt a pink livery.
