Haas Team Principal Ayao Komatsu has ruled out the American Formula 1 outfit being sold to new technical partner Toyota in the near future.
Haas announced a technical alliance with Toyota Gazoo Racing before the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. Toyota branding is now featured on Haas’ cars and drivers’ overalls. Although Toyota will support Haas in various technical aspects, there are no plans for Toyota to take over ownership of the team. The partnership with Toyota is expected to be long term. Haas, the smallest team on the F1 grid, collaborates with multiple technical partners including Dallara and Ferrari. Toyota will focus on areas where Haas doesn’t get support from Ferrari to enhance competitiveness. This marks Toyota’s return to F1 after running its works entry from 2002 to 2009.
