The Haas Formula 1 team is set to make its Goodwood Festival of Speed debut at the upcoming event in July as an official partner.
To celebrate its tenth season in the sport, the Gene Haas-owned team will be the only F1 team to have an interactive hub, and drivers Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman will take on the famous hillclimb. The full driver line-up is yet to be announced. However, it has been confirmed that the VF-23 and VF-24 will be featured across the weekend. On top of this, the VF-16 – the team’s first car – will be displayed alongside the current VF-25.
Team principal Ayao Komatsu shared his excitement for the American team’s upcoming debut. He commented:
“I’m so glad to finally announce our debut at the 2025 Festival of Speed, it’s a secret that’s been very hard to keep.
“It makes perfect sense for us to celebrate our tenth season in the sport with some of the most knowledgeable and passionate fans in the world, and it’s the first time we’ve been able to activate at such a scale off-track like this, so I’d like to thank The Duke of Richmond and his team for making this possible for our team.
“There are going to be a lot more announcements to come around what we’re going to be doing at Goodwood, it’s going to be one of the highlights of our year.”
Bearman also commented on his upcoming appearance – his second at the event:

“I’m over the moon to be attending Goodwood this year.
“It’s such a fantastic event for the UK and I was lucky enough to be there last year, so this will be my second visit to Goodwood. It’s a special year for the team, celebrating racing in Formula 1 for 10 seasons, and I’m excited to see everyone support us over the weekend – it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Ocon, who will join the British rookie on the hillclimb, added:
“The Goodwood Festival of Speed is an amazing event. I’ve been there once in the past but I’m really looking forward to going with the team this year as it is 10 seasons since MoneyGram Haas F1 Team joined Formula 1.
“We’re going to have lots of exciting things to show – it’s a celebration for us – and it’s great that we can share with fans as well. It’s always fun as we’re driving the cars we love and on top of that, there’s no pressure – you’re there just to have fun and share those moments with everyone there.
“It’s always a beautiful event, I’m excited to look around and see the historical cars with a lot of history and passion, I might bring my family as well as they’ve never been.”
The 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed is set for 10-13 July.
