TGR Hass F1 Team VF-26 Estaban Ocon 2026 Australian GP in 1:64 scale
At the 2026 Australian Grand Prix, Esteban Ocon drove the No.31 Haas VF-26 for Haas F1 Team in the opening race of Formula 1's new technical era. Ocon, a Grand Prix winner renowned for his determination, racecraft, and ability to deliver consistent performances, helped lead the team's development of the all-new VF-26. At Melbourne, he finished just outside the points after a competitive midfield battle, while contributing valuable feedback on the car's debut under the new regulations.
What set the VF-26 apart from other race cars was its 2026-generation Ferrari hybrid power unit, active aerodynamic system, and reduced-size chassis, designed to maximize energy efficiency and agility under Formula 1's revised regulations. Its distinctive white, black, and red Toyota Gazoo Racing-inspired livery also made it one of the most recognizable cars on the grid, reflecting Haas' strengthened technical partnership while showcasing a bold new direction for the team.
