Haas, livery dedicated to Godzilla in the Japanese GP
There Haas wants to continue to amaze, and not just in performance. Ayao Komatsu’s team, which started very well in the 2026 World Championship thanks to a great Oliver Bearman, will face the third GP of the year with a renewed look. In view of Suzukaa home event not only for the team principal but also for the partner Toyota, the livery of the VF-26 for the race will be dedicated to Godzilla.
The king of the monsters therefore “debuts” in F1 thanks to the agreement between Haas and TOHO Co., Ltd., the iconic Japanese studio that created Godzilla: for the first time in its ten-year history in F1, the team collaborates with an intellectual property from the entertainment sector. The presentation of the livery will take place at the Tokyo Midtown Hibiya shopping center on March 24. After the debut in Japan, the collaboration will also be featured in Austin (23-25 October) on the occasion of the release of Godzilla Minus Zero in US theaters on November 6.

“This is truly an amazing opportunity to showcase our brand to a new audience, and is a first for both Haas and TOHO“he declared Komatsu. “It’s an honor to bring a global icon like Godzilla to the sport and participate in an important event for the franchise. We want our fans to join and celebrate with us, because there will be so many things to do this season“.
