Toyota raced in F1 between 2002 and 2009, before teaming up with Haas as a technical partner last season. But could it be plotting a full-scale return in the future?
Toyota has announced its gradual return to Formula 1 through a recent partnership with Haas. The Japanese brand’s branding will appear on Haas cars starting from the 2024 United States Grand Prix. While initially ruling out manufacturing power units, Toyota is now considering a more significant role in F1 post-2030. The alliance with Haas allows for Toyota’s young drivers to potentially progress to F1. However, Toyota emphasizes the importance of focusing on current racing disciplines and partnerships before committing fully to F1. The company remains cautious about expanding resources into F1 and will continue to assess opportunities while prioritizing its existing ventures.
