Haas Holds Fourth in Constructors with 18 Points After Three Races

TL;DR: Haas are fourth in the constructors' standings with 18 points after three races. Ollie Bearman’s seventh‑place finish in Melbourne and fifth‑place in Shanghai powered the points haul.

Haas have surprised early in the 2026 season, running the Ferrari power unit as the smallest team under the new technical rules. Their VF‑26 showed strong reliability in pre‑season testing, logging nearly 800 laps, second most among competitors.

The car’s balance in both qualifying and race trim has allowed both drivers to reach Q2 regularly. Esteban Ocon has knocked on the door of the top‑10 in each event, while Bearman has turned grid positions into points.

After the Australian and Chinese Grands Prix, Haas sit fourth in the constructors' championship with 18 points. Ollie Bearman delivered a seventh‑place finish in Melbourne and a fifth‑place finish in Shanghai, adding to the team’s point total.

Team principal Ayao Komatsu said Haas have scored a point in every race so far, despite being the smallest outfit on the grid. He highlighted the achievement as a positive sign under the brand‑new regulations.

The points streak keeps Haas within four points of seventh place, tightening the midfield battle. Consistent scoring gives the team flexibility to develop upgrades while staying inside the cost cap.

Bearman’s ability to translate qualifying pace into race results highlights his growing role as a points scorer, while Esteban Ocon’s recent top‑10 finish in Japan adds depth to the lineup.

Watch how Haas respond at the Miami sprint weekend, where new parts will be introduced and both drivers will aim to lock in top‑10 qualifying slots. The sprint format limits practice time, making efficient package integration critical.

A strong showing could push Haas into clear midfield leadership before the European swing.
