As TGR Haas F1 Team has "very close" technical partnership to Scuderia Ferrari, the Haas team should also adopt the "smaller" Shell pecten logo on the engine cover two-sides to promote Shell brand as well as Haas and Ferrari joining the Shell TV Commercial to strengthen the Shell brand

Last time other F1 team but powered by Ferrari had Shell pecten logos was Alfa Romeo in F1 2019:

Don't forget also Shell ever sponsored the another Ducati-backed Pramac Racing team in MotoGP 2013-2019

Do you want Shell expanding sponsorship to Haas F1? Agree?

We really needed Russell to get past Hulk in the battle for P8 today.

Who else is going? I'll be there in T12, might even rock my Rich Energy Haas shirt for laughs.

Officially official

Actually had a really decent quali this week compared to recent weeks. Wasn't expecting point potential though, and now only because of lots of crashes, but its really stressful hoping we manage to hold positions now that we're actually in the points.

The thread of these past few days:

Ocon announces he will leave HAAS

Desperately needed

Massive upgrade package that Esteban alluded to after the Dutch GP. Looked like it helped get Ollie get up the sheet for FP2. Don’t know what the run plans were, I imagine each car was running different programs for max data. May actually be looking forward to the race this weekend!

Let me start by saying that my opinion comes from a person who only started watching F1 on a weekly basis when HAAS joined in 2016. I watched a few races per year prior, but not really invested until then. I've seen them battle for 5th in the Constructors and also have 0 points another year. The good and the bad.

We were clearly faster than Williams and Cadillac, and we're around the pace of Alonso who finished in the points.

This race was hampered by strategy. We got caught behind the two Cadillacs on hard tires and got overcut by Bortoleto, Alonso, and Albon.

Is the car as fast comparatively as it was at the start of the year? No. Are we still faster than 3 to 4 teams at most tracks? Yes.

Are most of the people here newer that cant remember years like 2021 where we couldn't even get a point and the highlight was Mick passing Latifi for p.19? Or 2023 where we were arguably the 4th fastest car over one lap but still finished last?

IDK, maybe my expectations are too low...

I almost wish the season hadn't started so good. It gave me so much hope in the midfield, but with each break we just seem to come back even worse.

had no expectations but theyre still disappointing me. i expected atleast a p20 finish but damn a double dnf😞😞😞

well i didnt expect much anyway for the second half of the season

Welcome back everyone… here we are again. No upgrades, so it’s going to be a disaster again. Can’t wait to fight with Williams and Cadillac.

Haas explains how budget limitations, inconsistent VF-26 components and slower development have stalled its impressive start to the 2026 Formula 1 season.

What is Haas looking to do in the second half of the season in terms of upgrades? I haven’t seen a lot of news about their development plans coming out of the break.

I also saw that Ferrari is able to upgrade its engine through the ADUO program. Is Haas planning to take that Ferrari power-unit upgrade at the start of the second half as well?
