    Conspiracy theory: This will be a marketing deal for Haas and could turn into a new sponsor model for them. Haas sells CNC equipment. Toyota is 1 of if not the largest car maker in the world. Why not say "Hey Toyota buy a half billion in equipment and I'll put you on my F1 cars for a few seasons". This would be a brilliant marketing angle to get business that no other company can really offer in terms of exposure. Haas is his own primary sponsor at this point so why not?

      It would be true if Toyota wouldn't be as interested in an F1 entry. But since now there is no financial situation to put them in a pickle and because they have more experience working outside Japan and their culture, they're most likely to be involved in the team itself, and if the luck strikes [ ;) ], even take over the team in case Haas exists

    Well, some observations:
    1. Dallara makes good cars for series where they are the only chassis manufacturer. Their track record in F1 where they have to compete with a lot of different chassis builders, is, to put it kindly, abysmal.
    2. Ferrari has supplied customer engines to teams for over 30 years now. The sumtotal of success of these teams is 1 (one!) race win (Vettels first win in the Monza monsoon)
    Fundamentally, if you are using Ferrari engines, you’ve effectively made a statement that winning races isn’t important. If you toss Dallara on top of that, it becomes something along the lines of ‘scoring points isn’t all that important to us either’.
    So with that in mind…Haas transitioning to an increasing level of involvement from Toyota isn’t a good idea - it’s a GREAT idea. Even if it is a long term process and likely won’t fully materialize until the end of the decade, it actually would demonstrate a more serious commitment to be something other than Gene Haas’ promotional junket for prospective customers. This literally the first time I’ve been enthusiastic about anything related to Haas lately, so it also makes me think that this might be too good to be true. But by all means - make it so!

    I am a HAAS fan, just because of being the only US team, but I recoil at the thought of Ocon being a part of the team. I feel like they really need a team player who is going to at least think of the team first. I don't see where Ocon would be a net benefit to the team, as he is a liability at the moment. Maybe he could play nice, but to me, it would just put Bearman right where Mick was with Mazepin and a bit with KMag. Rookies need time to develop, build understanding and, more importantly, a teammate who isn't going to send it from 3 zip codes back on them and risk a double DNF for no points-paying positions. To me, it really boils down to I don't trust Ocon in a high-pressure situation to focus on the big picture as opposed to only valuing his stat lines. It would feel like a step back if they got Ocon from my perspective. Love the videos, LawVS!

    I am glad that at least one F1tuber acknowledges that the bridgestone tires were absolutely abysmal compared to the Michelins. I can't tell you how many people believe in conspiracy theories that the Bridgestones were light years ahead of Michelins secretly giving an inconquerable edge to Ferrari in an exclusive backrooms deal. Something that easily disproven through the fact that both of those tires are still available for trackrunners with cars from those old years, and slapping on both of them consistently shows that the Michelins were much better almost all around. Yes, even on the ferrari car, which was shown on an F2001 during a random track event.

In reality, Bridgestone almost exclusive providing for Ferrari I would argue was to their own detriment because of the lack of diverse data feedback compared to Michelin. Michelin had a wealth of data to work with across many top teams, and that resulted in them producing excellent tires that could dance through corners, maintain better surface contact, maintain better temperatures, etc. Michelin was always eager to prove itself the superior provider and in many cases I think it did.

      Andretti should not be approved for F1, they bring nothing to the sport. Rodin should get a seat first. They have what F2, F3, F4 F1 Academy and others. Andretti just wants a top table but no commitment to the talent development funnel.

    Windshear Tunnel is not in the UK. It's in Charlotte, NC. It's probably the best full size rolling road tunnel in the world. Gene Haas owns it. Unfortunately, it's pretty much useless to Haas F1 because FIA bans the use of full size tunnels. F1 has to use I believe half scale tunnels.

    Toyota is currently the only major car company that is not jumping wholesale into the EV trend. Toyota has said many times that they are still betting on the Int Combustion Engine having a return with the advancement with green hydrogen and green fuel advancements.
    If F1 shifts back to combustion engines using clean fuel, Toyota will want to be in the mix so they are ready for the day when green hydrogen overtakes the EV trend.

    The idea of Toyota slapping their good name on cars best known for fighting for last position is not a "more measured approach", it's plain ludicrous. And these cars being powered by one of their main rivals in the Hypercar World Endurance Championship, a series which Toyota has been dominating for the last six years, makes it even less likely. The rumours about McLaren and Toyota joning forces i had taken much more serious, as McLaren will need a works partnership where they will have exclusivity, or at least "first dibs", on the engines if they want to have a sniff at titles again (customer teams don't win championships).
