The 2025 Formula 1 season has witnessed a remarkable resurgence from the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team. After finishing seventh in the Constructors’ Championship in 2024 with 58 points, Haas has made significant strides, currently sitting fifth in the standings with 20 points after four races.
A Dynamic Driver Duo
Haas’s improved performance can be attributed to their new driver lineup: Esteban Ocon and rookie Oliver Bearman. Ocon, bringing experience from his tenure at Alpine, has quickly adapted to the VF-25, providing consistent performances and valuable feedback. He currently sits ninth in the Drivers’ Championship with 14 points.
Bearman, stepping up from a reserve role, has impressed with his maturity and racecraft. He has scored points in three of the first four races, including a notable performance in Bahrain where he rose from 20th to 10th, earning a point. Bearman currently holds 13th place in the Drivers’ Championship with 6 points.
Technical Advancements
The team’s technical partnership with Toyota has played a crucial role in their resurgence. Toyota’s support has enhanced Haas’s design and manufacturing capabilities, leading to a more competitive car. The VF-25 has shown improved aerodynamics and reliability, allowing the drivers to extract more performance on race days.
Looking Ahead
With a strong driver pairing and technical support, Haas is poised to continue their upward trajectory. Maintaining consistency and capitalizing on opportunities will be key as they aim to solidify their position in the midfield and challenge for higher standings in the Constructors’ Championship.
The 2025 season marks a new chapter for Haas, showcasing their potential to compete more effectively in the highly competitive world of Formula 1.
