Mercedes, Haas and Red Bull change their logos

Mercedes and Haas have both made changes to their logos ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season, with pre-season kicking off on the 26th of January at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The German team have tweaked their logo in a move away from the iconic silver three-pointed star to a white version.
Haas have brought in the abbreviation 'TGR' as Toyota Gazoo Racing are their title sponsors heading into the new season.
Both teams will be looking to hit the ground running as F1 welcomes a new set of regulations.
Mercedes will aim to challenge for the championship, while Haas will want to improve on their eighth-place finish in the Constructors' Championship in 2025.
During the afternoon, Red Bull Racing also joined in with sharing a small adjustment to their logo as well.
