Haas celebrates ten years of F1 at Goodwood with Bearman and Ocon
For the first time, the Festival of Speed 2025 will welcome an XXL presence from the Haas F1 Team. To celebrate its ten seasons in Formula 1, the American team is sending a muscular line-up to Goodwood, with the participation of Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman, as well as a collection of single-seaters retracing its history.
Founded in 2016 by Gene Haas, the eponymous team celebrates its ten years in F1 in 2025. And to mark the event, Haas is going big at the Festival of Speed with an exclusive presence at the heart of the site and a program over the four days from July 10 to 13.
“It’s a special year for the team,” says driver Ollie Bearman. “I am over the moon to participate in Goodwood again. It’s a fantastic event in the UK and I can’t wait to feel the energy of the crowd.”
Three single-seaters and a piece of history
Haas does not come empty-handed. It plans to showcase three generations of its single-seaters:
The VF-16, the team’s first chassis in 2016, the VF-23, driven by Hülkenberg and Magnussen during the 2023 season, and the brand new VF-24, which marked Bearman’s entry into F1 and totaled 58 points in 2024.
The current VF-25 model, participating in the 2025 championship, will also be on static display. The stand will be completed with racing suits, helmets, and team memorabilia to offer fans a true immersion into the world of Haas.
Hillclimb: Between Performance and Pleasure
Ocon and Bearman will take part in the famous Goodwood Hill climb, which will see F1 legends like Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, and Mario Andretti parading throughout the weekend, as part of the 75th anniversary of the World Championship.
Esteban Ocon, winner of the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix, is looking forward to his second visit:
The Goodwood Festival of Speed is an incredible event. This time, I’m going with the team for its tenth anniversary, it’s a real celebration. There will be many beautiful things to show.
And to add: « What I love about Goodwood is the absence of pressure. We are here to enjoy, interact with fans, and drive the cars we love. It’s always a magical moment. »
A central place in the F1 75 festivities
In addition to its dedicated space, Haas will join the other teams in the Ballroom Paddock, the nerve center of the F1 75 Festival program. A monumental celebration where the history, present, and future of the discipline come together on the tarmac and in the pits.
After Williams, it is therefore a second current team that officially confirms its participation. Other announcements are expected in the coming weeks, further enhancing the prestige of the 2025 edition.
Goodwood: An Event Under Tension
Tickets for Friday and Saturday are already sold out, evidence of the massive enthusiasm for this exceptional edition. Only Thursday tickets and a few for Sunday are currently available (goodwood.com).
Haas in celebration mode
Between history, innovation, and passion, Haas makes its first decade in Formula 1 a highlight of the 2025 Festival of Speed. Through its presence on the Hill, its exhibitions, and its star drivers, the team shows that it is more than ever a major player in the paddock.
