Haas announce rare private test at iconic former F1 venue Fuji.
Haas will conduct a rare F1 test at Japan’s Fuji circuit next month, with drivers Ryo Hirakawa and Sho Tsuboi participating in the two-day TPC test in Haas’ VF-23 at Fuji Speedway on 6-7 August. The test is part of Haas’ technical partnership with Toyota and will be Tsuboi’s first outing in F1 machinery. Hirakawa previously drove for Haas in 2024 and also had FP1 outings this year in Bahrain and Spain. Fuji last hosted the Japanese Grand Prix in 2008 before the race returned to Suzuka. Haas’ alliance with Toyota has allowed them to run their first-ever private testing program with TPC outings in Jerez and now at Fuji.
